A member asked:
I think i have a srained right bicep. this pain began shortly after my workout. 8 days ago. there has been no swelling or bruising. what should i do?

Rest: Unlikely you have torn the muscle as this would cause discoloration. However a strained muscle can take a few weeks to recover. Activity as tolerated, OK and beneficial to keep moving, but stay clear of lifting weights till muscle not tender.
