What Causes Swelling In Between The Bicep And Elbow Upon Intense Exercising?

2 days after a workout at the gym (with a trainer) I have swelling between the lower end of my bicep and elbow. The pain just could be muscle exercise related (some soreness in the right arm, but no swelling). The swelling is now moving down my left arm.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic

The pain and swelling you are experiencing could be due to torn muscle while exercising. You can apply ice compress over the area to relieve pain and swelling
Anti inflammatory like Ibuprofen (if not allergic) can help. Take adequate rest until the pain subsides.

Hope this answers your question
