Was in the gym on Wednesday doing deadlifts and heard and felt a pop and rip in my bicep, towards the elbow. Pain wasn't too bad but the muscle had moved up an inch or two, which was quite disconcerting at the time (as was the noise it made). Went to A&E but they sent me packing without really doing anything, just said they were going to refer me and to expect a phone call.
It's been a few days now and the pain has mostly subsided, my arm around the elbow just feels weak albeit much better than it was. It looks more normal as well. Weird thing is that the bruising has come up in the middle of the forearm? Nothing around the area that felt affected when it happened.
I've done some research and a distal tendon tear seems to fit with what I experienced when it happened, but then it doesn't feel as though its going to be that serious given the lack of pain now and the improvement I've experienced?
Anyone with any alternative theories? I don't hold out much hope of hearing from the hospital, which is annoying as I guess surgery should be pursued quite quickly if it has teared.
