Hello, Im Keith, and I am in some pretty bad trouble and I need some help please.

[Kuru1313]

I am 60 years old, and when covid hit I became homeless, and I lost what I believed to be around 20 pounds of muscle and body fat. I was unable to work shortly after that due to frostbite on 8 out of 10 toes. I had quite a bit of muscular atrophy I suppose, and when I started working again I found a cooking job that forced me to use my left arm to extend fairly heavy plates and was extremely painful. I do not have that job now, but I am still in a great deal of pain and I've noticed what looks to be a deformity in my left bicep. I will post 2 different pics so everyone can see what it looks like. Its like a baseball under my skin and its kind of like a huge knot My right arm is not like this at all and seems normal. I play guitar and since this has happened, I cannot play without excruciating pain. Are there some basic exercises with weights I can do to help reform this muscle back to normal? Forget going to the dr. because I live in a little ****-town in Texas with nothing but a nursing practitioner at the clinic and the only way is 30+miles from here and finding the right one. I know this can be fixed with some of the right therapy and lifting. Thank you for taking your time to listen to me.

Wow....over 17 THOUSAND people looked at this and not one reply? Thanks a lot. I will pray none of you have to go through something like this, but remember...things like this can happen in a BLINK OF AN EYE.

Hi Kuru ~ Sorry you are having this problem. Have you been able to have it fixed yet? This same thing happened to my brother-in-law. Not sure what he was doing, but apparently the muscle separated from the tendon (?) and his arm looked just like this. Pretty painful. I don't remember much about what he did to fix it, so I'll ask my sister and check back with you. Hope things are going better.
