Swollen, Throbbing And Warm Biceps. Discomfort. Overworked Muscle?

i started working out again this past week or so and have been working on biceps the past couple of days, i ould tell i over did it slightly however im aware of what that feels like from making that mistake in the past. but tonight i noticed my left bicep is swollen, throbbing and warm to the touch and a generally discomforting feeling like its squeezing my veins against my skin so to speak. and it is unordinary for me. have i just WAY overworked my left bicep more than the right or is this something else?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The swelling and warn muscle is suggestive of an infection or inflammation in the area. It can be due to a spasn also due to overwork. Doing a hot fomentation will help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
