I did some google search and I am pretty sure it is bicep tendonitis. Left arm isn't as bad as the right. Can't lock the left arm at the elbow but it is mostly straight. Can barely extend or let my right arm hang.


Worked out Sunday. Was sore yesterday, worst today.
Oh and the bicept and tricep itself isn't sore anymore. Pain is all where the arm hinges at the elbow, wrapping up a little to the top of the arm, and down and around to the back of the tricep.

Has anyone ever dealt with this before and do you have any suggestions?

Thanks and tl;dr

Medial Epicondilitis, Don't know how it is spelled.

it's tennis elbow on the inside. Do you play golf?

Tricep Tendonitis.

Take a break from any direct tricep isolation exercises or go light enough that you don't feel any pain. Usually take 3+ weeks to fully go away and you'll need to start out light when you start again.

Do you work out regularly or was this your first time in a long while?

First time in a while doing that much arm back and traps stuff. But mashing my pecs traps, bicep, tricep, doesn't hurt, all the muscles themselves.

One reason I stopped working out arms is because of this happening before but never quite this bad.


I do play golf but it's been five months since I played probably.

Ice, rest, and buy one of those straps to relieve the joint.

I've had a few boughts with tennis elbow. Resting, Icing and stretching is what you're supposed to do. Buy one of these straps. They work great.

I had almost the same thing. Hurt to even let my arm hang at my side.

Google a few PT exercises and do them diligently. Most can be done while you are watching tv. Apply moist heat for 10 min a day.

That's what the Ortho told me to do, and I haven't had a problem since.

ETA: those straps recommended by Zappas are legit

Bicepital tendonitis. Take Advil for a couple of days. Don't do curls or weights with arms. If not better in 5 days, call doctor.

Wrap, anti-inflammatory medicine, rest...

That's about all you can do.

More concerned about not ever really being able to workout my arms.

I know this pain will go away relatively quick.

This tennis elbow strap is significantly better than anything you will find in the drug or sports stores. My Ortho gave me my first one to prevent ongoing injury. I order a new one about every 6 months but I play tennis 4-5 times a week.

Try these folks. They did wonders for my elbow and knee without surgery or drugs. Beware - it does hurt.

I had tennis elbow in both arms after remodeling my kitchen three years ago. Went to my orthopedist and got cortisone shots in both arms. Shots hurt like hell for about a day, but after that you start to get real relief from the pain. Long term you will need to follow other suggestions from this board regarding heat and cold as well as deep tissue massage. Should you choose to consult and orthopedist, he may also prescribe physical therapy.
