Increasing Pain In Right Bicep And Forearm. Taken Rest, No Improvement. Remedy?
Over the last 2 months I've had increasing pain in my right bicep and forearm. I'm still able to use the arm (workouts and tennis) but the pain hasn't decreased. My right biceps is now looking a little smaller than the left. I've tried resting it for a few days at a time but it doesn't seem to help. What are the possible diagnosis.

Hi Dear
Welcome to the Health Care magic.
It appears that some irritation of the nerves arising from the cervial region
(Brachial plexus) for the arm are being irritated, thus causing the symptoms.
It is advisable to consult orthopedic surgeon. He will evalute you with local examination and XRAY cervical region. and may advice you some muscle relaxant.
You may be benifitted with some physiotherapy
Hope your query is answered,
Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms you have described are more likely to be symptoms of muscles strain. Right biceps looking a little smaller than the left could be due to disuse.
To get relief from the pain and for quick healing:
1. Do hot fomatation at the site.
2. Apply local anti-inflammatory gel 2-3 times a day.
3. Take anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen to reduce pain and local swelling or inflammation.
4. Do not lift weight or try to do exercise that involve painful muscles. Give proper time for the injury to heal.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
