Question: good morning
For the past three days now while I am still recovering from a strain bicep muscle on my left arm. Apparently i can't move my arm all the way down. Does that have something to do with it?

Brief Answer:
Can be due to a sprain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
After a strain of the biceps muscle, it is normal to have some difficulty in moving the arm. You are already taking an oral muscle relaxant. This should subside in the next 5-7 days with proper rest.
Avoid all the painful movements and let them heal.
In case there is severe pain or swelling, do consult an Orthopedician for a direct clinical examination.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any further questions are welcome.
Regards.
