Hi,
The way you have described, it appears like a muscle tear of long head of biceps. Diagnosis can be confirmed by clinical examination and MRI/ ultrasound examination.
Just apply ice packs 2-4 hourly for 5-7 days and continue with all your routine work except heavy weight lifting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
