A member asked:
I have severe bicep pain. hurts when i move my hand too. i have applied ice and taken motrin. should i see a doctor? this has been in pain for 5 hours

Not yet necessarily: Continue the motrin, ice. If this worsens, or doesn't improve, then see your doctor. Was there an injury or overuse condition causing this? If not, then i'd have it looked at on monday.
