Suggest Remedy For Sharp Pain In Arm While Stretching

On Monday, I felt fine all day until about 2 hours before bed. I noticed when I d reach for things with my right arm, there was a sharp pain in my mid-forearm (underneath - on palm side). It wasn t too intense and I figured it would go away overnight. The next day it felt same. It only hurts when extended, so I forgot after shower and bent to put socks on. When I extended my arm, there was a strong sharp horrible pain in the mid arm. Since then, i feel the sharp pain anytime my arm is stretched out. If it is folded up (like now while typing) I don t feel anything. There is small pain radiating from my wrist (below my thumb down to the spot where the sharp pain came from).

Yeah, I've got this. It is a sprain of the biceps tendon. Sometimes it needs surgery to put it back. Mostly, it is a sprain. Rest for about a week and graded increases in weight bearing (very low weight barbells). At the point I am at (3 to 4 months out) flexibility of the area is the main issue and the barbells still help but some non-weight bearing very slow range of motion exercises with moist heat also is needed.
