Suggest Remedy For Pain In Left Arm

I have a pain in upper left arm. There is a defined separation of muscle(s) in the bicep that isn t on my right arm. Could this be a torn muscle/ligament? Years ago I had a nerve impingement and received a cortizone injection in this same left arm. Could this be a recurrence. I have been doing aquatic exercises the past 6-8 weeks; could the pain be coming from too much resistance while I m in the water?

hello
There should be rest to arm if its paining which indicates fresh implication and needs rest and anti-inflammatory medicines to relieve.There can be local application of anti-inflammatory gels also and hot fomentation.Biceps tendinitis can be confirmed by an orthopedic doctor so must consult.If it is there then, rest arm in a broad sling for 1 days and do not lift or exercise
best wishes
