Hello, I have a question about my bicep. About two years ago I was arm wrestling and my lower tendon by my elbow on the left hand side of my left arm starting to burn and have a numbing feeling. I ignored it and kept on arm wrestling. So after a few days my tendon starting burning and felt like it was stuck said I went to crack my elbow and my tendon crack or popped which hurt real bad. Now since then, my bicep has been burning, aching, you name it.(In the result of my arm wrestling deal) I can't curl cuz it hurts to bad too. When I go to flex, my tendon feels like it's stuck so I fling my wrist and it pops my tendon, it feels good for 10 mins, but then it starts to hurt again, and it won't pop for a hour or so. Iv'e been to a couple of doctors, and they said it was teninnitous(I could of told them that) They said popping the tendon was fine. So what do I do? I can't weight lift cuz it hurts so bad, I bought some Omega Sports Flex, hopping that'll work.
Anything will help.
Thanks

this is something that a doctor could give you the most advice on... i would ask my doctor for certain medication, supplements, and types of rehabing exercises to help with this... also try different types of google searching to look for supplements and rehabing exercises... my best answer to this questiong is to go real light with your exercises and performing with a good good range of motion... try loosening up the muscle and stretching the area like at least 10 minutes a day, ice the area after training to prevent swelling, and use atomic bomb on the area before exercising it heavy...
i'm also not sure how bad your tenedonitis is, if its just really curls that are bothering it than so what is a sense... try squatting, if there is too much pressure on it, then do leg presses instead...try deadlifts alot since the arm is straight at there is no bending ot the arm... so also have to find out which hurts most, bending the elbow or locking it out, if its bending than do more board presses for benching, front/side laterals for shoulders, and other exercises such as those more often... if it locking out that hurts, than just dont fully lockout on your exercises and slowly work your way to locking them out over the next couple of months or so... goodluck though man, hope everything works out for you in the long run

I don't know why you're asking us and not taking your doctor's most likely advice to you:
Rest
Ice
Compress
(normally we'd throw in Elevation, but not in this case.)
Tendonitis is a bitch, and it will NEVER go away unless you take care of it. Unfortunately, for lifting, that means NOT exercising that bodypart for some time. So take some time off, take OTC anti-inflammatory meds, ice the elbow joint, and wrap it if swollen at all(wrapping it will also keep the area warm which will reduce the pain).
Unfortunately, the main component to recovery for elbow joint tendonitis will be lots of rest.
Do I sound like a broken record yet?
Take care.

I would say A.R.T ( Active Release Therapy ) would be an option in this case. I't did wonders for a rotator cuff injury of mine.

i'm not 100% sure that the tennis elbow remark was correct, as "tennis elbow" is a name given to a common form of tendonitis on the outside of your arm i believe, and i think he is referring to the inside of his. Anyway, i've had that recurring problem on my bicep... i'll share with you some techniques thathave helped me get through it.
1. while it's still hurt REST IT.(i generally have to not use it or about a week straight)
2.take anti-inflammatory's... even ibuprofen works fairly well for me
3. i rarely use db's anymore, as inevitably, for almost any execrise with them there is a "swing" (i.e swinging it to your shoulder on db shoulder presses)
4. when lifting ANYTHING (even bench)release the tension slowly, as you are re-racking it, don't just let go, SLOWLY apply less and less force to the bar, it's far easier on your tendons
5. no direct bicep work, especially if you're a pl it'snot that neccesary anway, mine are a decent size and strength (i was able to strictform curl 65lb db's for 4 reps...of course after doing that by tendons hurt like a bitch again) i generally only work them inderectly in cable rows, pulldowns, pullups, etc.....
hopefuly this has helped somewhat, peace-I'm really 17 just thought i might have needed to be 21 or something to join the forum
