both biceps
by rocart, Dec 19, 2007 03:30PM
seven days ago I began to have serious pain develop in the middle of both of my biceps exactly the same spot. it gets worse at night and prevents me from being able to sleep. I can't remember doing anything out of the ordinary beside it was a stressfull couple of weeks before last wednesday when the symptoms became an issue. it does not feel muscular to me. I have refrained from heavy lifting as much as possible and eating very well with as much sleep as i can get. Please respond with any help. I never really complain of pain but this is excrutiating when it wakes me up in the morning hours. thanks

Had you been lifting heavy weights (even if it is usual for you to lift such weights) before noticing that you had pain in the biceps?
When we have stress (like subclinical viral infection, job/family pressure etc), it tends to lower our resistance, and also our threshold for injury. At such time, if we perform heavy excercise (even though we were previously comfortably able to do the same), injury may result.
Perhaps this has happened with you.
Please take a break from exercise till you recover fully. Applying a warm water bag, as well as taking Tylenol, can help.
If pain still persists, please consult your doctor, who will rule out any major injury, and also prescribe analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
