Reply With Quotesometimes shoulder injury radiates down and you might think it is the biceps. normally i would not worry much about biceps injury, what i worry about is the shoulder, and you might have injured the rotator cuff tendon which is a classical injury in weight lifting especially at your age
you have two ways of dealing with it:
1-stop lifting for about 3 weeks and concentrate on your legs etc.. and come back lifting slowly only when you feel better with a good warmup
2- at first stop lifting for few days or a week and then resume your lifting but avoid the following:
jerking the weight, all your movements must be slow and controlled, avoid exercises that hurts you, Absolutely avoid any twisting of the arm keep your arms straight and aligned when you do biceps and triceps, when you lift let your grip be relaxed on the bar and your fingers relaxed when you bench it somehow relieve some stress from your shoulder,
rest well between workouts, just be careful and always warm up . if you jog or run avoid balancing your arms like usual.
if you are careful you don't have to stop working out it will heal little by little it takes time. if you get worse then stop working out a week then start again .
shoulder tendons injury is a pain in the butt and stressful because it is hard to tell when it will completely heal it could take a month or it could take a year it depends how you manage it. but eventually it will go away it just takes time.
anti inflamatory medicine helps and better to take it before bed time.

arm and shoulder injury
Hi all,
I have pain when I bend my elbow 90 degrees and twist inward. This isn't always there, however when I lift, it's there. It's been there for a few months and is slowly getting better as long as I go light with the weight. So needless to say I can't work as hard as I want to, so I've varied my workout around this to allow time to heal.
Now, I've had a recent shoulder injury a few weeks ago, it's gotten better but still sore and if I lift certain ways or too much it hurts. It's hard to describe, I don't know how or when I did it, I just know the next day I felt alot of pain, I left it for several days before I went back to the gym. It's most of the time a dull aching pain (kinda got used to it) or I don't notice it.
I have full range of motion with both injuries and without resistance no pain. Both injuries are on the right side. I am 39 years old, been working out for about a year now. I really want to be able to push hard and get on with it, but I worry that I'll worsen the injuries. Just about every movement includes the shoulders so how do you continue to work out and let it heal?
1. How long could it take for these two to heal up given my current fitness and age?
2. Could the second injury have been caused by a result of the first because of shoulder muscles compensating for the bicep weekness?
Ok, I'll shut up now, what do you all think?
Thanks

That's pretty much what I've been doing and it has been getting better, just very slowly. I've noticed I hurt the shoulder more when I'm out of the gym than in just doing everyday things while I'm 'forgetting' its hurt. Thanks for the advice, at least I know I'm headed down the right road.

Yeah patience...it's a tough virtue...tonight I noticed that when I flex my bicep my left (the non-injured one) hard very hard like it should be, but no matter how hard I try to flex my right bicep it doesn't feel like a rock bicep, it's like I can't flex it hard...weird...I guess that's just a result of the injuries. Time will tell.
