Yes, get thee to thy Doc to check it out. Not all is MS.

My thoughts too, just frustrated I guess. Can't seem to stay away from the doctors. I am babying it, icing it, taking pain meds and drinking lots of water. If it is not better by Monday morning hubby will take me to the docs.

The pain is not excruciating by any means when it's bent, but it's too much to handle when I try to straighten it.

Like a goober I keep trying to catch things when they fall, which includes straightening it, that HURTS.

My daughter is making things with beads and reorganizing her bead containers today. I was helping her, but there were a lot of beads falling on the floor that I kept trying to catch. I decided I should stop. lol

Where exactly is the swelling? It could possibly be a muscle tendon rupture. When that happens, the muscle will "slip down" and create a lump as it is no longer attached on both ends. Perhaps you can do a search and see if that sounds like a possibility.

Hope you feel better soon.

It's on the front of my upper arm, mid-way between my shoulder and elbow. I will look into that, thank you.

If it is a complete rupture, generally there is no pain, only weakness...but a partial tear is more along the lines of what you are describing. Also known as a severe muscular strain.

Hope that it settles down and feels better quickly.

With love, Erika

Sorry, it does sound like the possibility of tendon rupture is there. Definitely see a doc on Monday unless it miraculously heals.

I will for sure. Thank you.
