Brief Answer:
Oral muscle relaxant will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the biceps on working is due to a muscle spasm or a small muscle tear. This needs proper rest to the muscle for healing. Since you are having a pain now, you need an oral muscle relaxant in addition to the pain killer. Doing a hot compress and applying local analgesic gel in the area will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
