downsized 25lbs...just starting to gain it back

[irish_2003]

swollen injured right arm today 6-23-12...believe it or not swollen it's only 17.5"

[irish_2003]

bruising is visible today on high inside tricep and rear delt...swelling not going down yet...hard to touch entire right tricep like it's pumped from exercise except squishy near elbow...skin is itchy and painful like there's no more room and stretching...i'm confident today that there's tearing...will get someone to take a couple pics today and post them...if swelling doesn't go down by monday i'm going to hospital and see about draining fluid or meds to bring the swelling down...until then it's gelpacks as long as i can handle the coldness

If you heard it pop, and along with the bruising, odds are you tore it dude. I had it happen with the left pec doing inclines about 6 years ago.

Gonna take surgery to repair?

i can move it completely overhead now but can't bend much when over head...can bend 90 deg in curl position...alot of bruising but swelling is going down...it's not a tendon tear based on that and only a very very bad muscle tear so surgery is a waste (especially since i don't have insurance nor will i use obamacare forced taxed bullshit since i'm a legal citizen and not speak english and don't support rap music or ghetto or barrios)...so rest, ice, no lifting 3-4 weeks and then slowly and cautiously come back then

Man that looks nasty, especially the bruise around your elbow.
Looks like you are very proportional, to, aaa, superman! Damn, Irish!
At least you appear to have kept your waist down so the recoup time will allow you to eat to recover.
