ouch! Sounds pretty painful. Does it only hurt are bending your arms?? If so, could be a possible muscle tear. I'd that looked at ASAP.
possible bicep tear. if it still causes pain, get it looked at
Is that the bottom end of the tendon? How far down the forearm does that go?
This is rough picture but you can sort of see the insertion point on the radius. Whats most interesting is that the bicep doesnt connect to the upper arm bone. It actually begins on the scapula (shoulder blade).
That is pretty funny. I just got done helping a guy who was having horrible charlie-horses in the calf when he did supine leg curls, and I had to explain to him that the gastrocnemius actually crosses the knee joint and originates on the femur. That being so, it initiates knee flexion, so I told him to keep his toes pointed up (dorsiflexed) to keep his calf from contracting.
