Bicep pain: It would be unusual for a 20 yo to rupture the proximal biceps or develop DVT. TRY TO DECREASE THE INTENSITY OF YOUR WORKOUT FOR 7-10 DAYS , ICE , TAKE NSAIDS, IT SHOULD IMPROVE

Pain: most likely related to weight lifting dvt possible especially if arm is swollen would hold off weight lifting until resolved
