What Causes Hardening Of Vein Or Tendon Extending From Arm Pit To Inner Bicep?
i have a hardened vein or tendon that extends from by arm pit to the inner arm bicep area. It feels tight and sore. I noticed it especially when i lift my arm into the air, and you can see it sticking out from under the skin. It feels like it goes under tension when i lift my arm. there is no swelling or redness, only this tight strand under my arm, and only under my left arm. it seemed to come on all of a sudden. i do weight lifting regularly and wonder if i did something to it?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It is a tendon. It always becomes prominent during flexion.
2. Not to worry. If you had any injury, it would have been painful.
3.you can palpate it on right side also by flexing. Its biceps tendon which is inserted into bone in forearm.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
