Brief Answer:
Hi. You've torn one of the biceps tendon
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX You've torn one of the tendons of the head of the biceps and the lump is from the muscle contracting without an attachment to the humerus. You need to see a doctor and get an MRI scan to check this out and it will need to be surgically repaired
Please let me know if you need any more information.
