My forearms had been sore for a few weeks.  I figured I had tendinitis in my right distal (near the elbow) biceps tendon so I backed off on the weight and intensity.  Then, a few days after Christmas while shaking hands with someone, of all things, it went ‘twang’! and I felt a severe pain in my arm - wow, talk about ouch!  Not putting two and two together, I iced it for a few days, took time off and tried again. I’d lost a lot of grip strength and biceps strength, but the arm still worked so I didn’t think it was serious.  Well, it didn’t get any better so I finally went to the doctor.  It is partially torn and I go for an MRI next week and then they will determine the treatment plan.  Until then, nothing that fires the biceps; so, no back or bi’s.    (sigh)
