Does anyone of you clever bods know anything about bicep injuries please?

[**forum-decorum**]

I went to The doctors with severe pain in my right upper arm and was diagnosed with an injured bicep, Doctor told me to rest it as much as I can otherwise it won't heal. Well I have tried to but as I am a carer to a few members of my family and can't keep still I have damaged it again.

This time I think I have completely torn/ruptured it as it has bruised and gone a funny shape, I have tried to rest it again and the pain has gone, but the shape and bruising is still the same.

My question is, is there anyone out there who has experienced similar who can tell me they finally recovered and got their bicep back to normal. Ho long did it take or did you have to go and have surgery to repair it. The thing is.. I have googled and I really don't want to have surgery, I can't afford the time off.

You've been very lucky & for that I'm glad! Don't hinder the healing by overdoing it & causing more damage.😼
