This is exactly what I have been dealing with! Almost 2 years later it is still hurting and I am only now getting back to working out. It made me so depressed that I stopped working out altogether and no one could tell me what was going on, but what you described is EXACTLY what I have been dealing with. Sounds like I am finally on the right track. Just lifting much lighter now and slowly getting back into it.

@@Eagle2894 Still not 100% yet. I am very slowly using progressive overload, so I am gradually gainning more and more use. At this point, I am still perhaps 85% or so. It's a slow process now, but at least I can lift. If the weight feels even slightly irrirtating to the tendon, I back off, swallow my pride and lift lighter.

Thank you so much for this video. You have put my mind at ease. Any time I get an injury I tend to stress too much about it thinking the worst. By your description, I for sure just irritated the tendon and need to give it time. It’s only been about 5 days for me, and I’m seeing improvement.

[@mahalaa5328]

I believe this is the injury that I currently have. I woke up with a shooting pain in my arm. It felt very much like static. Eventually, the tingly feeling has dissipated and it mostly feels sore when extended. I can still feel tingling in my thumb occasionally. This was definitely a scary thing to go through. Hoping everyone else will get through their injuries!!

[@lezty]

how are you now? I had this exact same thing waking up with shooting pain in my arm.

[@scorpioman1964]

I'm 58yo. When I was 26 I had already distal tendon problems on both biceps. Also later in my 30's. I realised 10 years ago to do eccentric (negative) movements. My tendons strength is now much better. 2x a week before working out I do eccentric workouts just to warm up the Biceps and be sure they don't get hurt again.

Thank you, I have been dealing with this on and off for over three years in many sports: surfing, tennis, padel, rock climbing, even at the go-karts! I always felt that it was something in the bicep tendons but phisioteraphists always had a different opinion. Lately the pain in my bouldering and rock-climbing sessions has become unbearable and only ice seems to calm it. I can now finally put a name on it and start resting and recovering. Thanks a lot.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Thanks for watching, and good luck with your recovery!

[@TyJames1219]

This is golden!! Most info out there is ulnar/golfers/tennis etc, making it all the more difficult and confusing for people dealing with this. A good compression elbow sleeve does wonders for this specific injury by preventing over contraction and extension, also as a physical reminder, allowing the tendon to heal more effectively. I would suggest not diving straight into curls or pull-ups and rather start back into your workout program with push-ups while wearing the compression sleeve. This will strengthen your triceps which make up the larger portion of the arm and support the bicep, which is most likely the imbalance that lead to said tendinitis of the lower bicep. Sleep with the sleeve!!!Hydrate hydrate hydrate and eat well!!!

Thanks, i’ve had distal bicep pain from doing heavy pull-ups for a year now, took a month off gym and first week back and the pain is still there. It always hurts when doing pronated pull-ups hammer curls and bicep curls. The only way i can work through my workout is applying Deep Heat to it, it makes it really hot then the pain is bearable. I’ve also changed my grip to a neutral grip which takes a lot pressure of the bicep tendon.

I used to overdo with pull-ups every day on the bars (street workout), and fucked up my left bottom bicep tendon. I had to stop training because street workout without pull-ups is shit. Now 3 years of no training later, i decided to hit the gym. Now after 2 weeks the pain is here again, and the worst thing is that it is on both arms, but the left one is worse. It really feels like when you fuck it once, it's there with you for the rest of your life. Guess i'll just have to forget about pull-ups and just do lat-pulldown machine.

[@rc1952]

I got pain and gentle massage helped it go away. Your video helped me find the main lower elbow tendon position and feel along it while tight. I could feel something on it. I think I have damage to it from doing gardening- using my whipper snipper. Because I used to use my arms for doing heavy whipper snipping so it’s long term injury I think. But now I have a very light whipper snipper. So it’s not so hard or damaging. I will try to rest, strengthen it, not use the tool now, wait till I recover, rest and regular gentle movement- start light! Thank you! And seeing the doctor now. To check I am right about what I have. But the gentle massage actually helped quite a lot and resting. What was hard was that I forgot that I did the activity just before I got the injury so I had to retrace my steps and think about what I had done!!!!!!!!! And my own unique history of arm use! It’s not just sport that causes these injuries - it is work and gardening and using heavy tools. Anyway thank you.

If the exercises aren't making a difference, your physio should reassess it and adapt your programme. It will recover - but it can take a very long time.

[@deraileddash]

This is a great video! My symptoms fit this very closely. It's been about three months and it's starting to depress me. Two things that also cause it to flare up a lot: 1. Picking up anything heavy with a straight arm. 2. Washing up!! I guess it's all the suppination! Do these symptoms also align with distal tendinopathy?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

They do - and you've hit the nail on the head for why it is often more difficult to recover from upper limb tendinopathy because you just use your arms for so many tasks whereas you can more easily rest a leg.

What type of treatment do you recommend? Light strength training? How do you strengthen the supination aspect? Thank you.

Start with simple straight line bicep curls first. And once it tolerates that with low weight then add in some curls where you start in pronation and turn it over into supination as you lift. Or you can train it with resistance band.

Can I apply ice to the area ? Is there any other relief treatment for the pain?

@@FAZILG007 is your pain still there?

I fell and felt immediate sharp pain in my inside arm and bicep. Not as bad now, but still hurts. I’m 62. Small petite woman.

Great information. Do you also recommend cold treatments and anti-inflammatories for this type of injury?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It really depends on your case. Neither of them will make you heal more quickly but they can help reduce pain. However, they may also influence healing depending on how you use them, so if you don't need it, leave it. But if you are in a lot of pain then ice would be my preferred choice and if that doesn't work perhaps anti-inflammatories.

I was looking for something active I could do to help, not just rest it and start with lower weights. Are there no direct treatments that can help?

[@OutrageIsNow]

Self myofascial release via trigger point therapy. Twice a day. Extremely low weight eccentrics twice a day. Very low intensity/high volume. You should also figure out what the root cause is. Mine was my shoulder. Had to do a lot of trigger point therapy on my upper traps, lats and pecs. I also had to strengthen my rhomboids and lower traps. Tendonitis is usually a symptom of something higher up the kinetic chain that is distorted and not working the way it should be. Working on good posture by strengthening the erector spinae/thoracic mobility will also help. Look up postural distortions and find the one that best describes your current posture. Good luck!
