What Could Cause The Muscle In My Right Arm To Reduce To Half The Size Despite Any Pain?
Question: About a month ago, I pulled or ripped the muscle in my right arm lower bicept ,
Dos not hurt anymore, but I just noticed that something is wrong with it,
It looks like the lower part of the bicept is missing, or not connected at the lower end,
and the upper part of the bicept muscle is only the HALF the size it should be.
What you think I need to do at this time ?? workout, exercise ??
Thank you.
