R/O biceps: If u were lifting something rather heavy and felt pull or 'pop' and pain and bruising is felt in lower arm or front of elbow( antecubital fossa) then a biceps strain or rupture should be ruled out.@ age 54 this can happen and generally needs to be re-attached or u will lose elbow flexion strength and much supinating( palming up) power. See your ors.' other' strains rice...!

Seek medical attenti: If you have numbness /tingling, progressive pain you should definitely go to an orthopaedic surgeon or ed. If pain is mild, rest, observe and take anti-inflammatories if you can.
