I found out yesterday that I have a partially torn bicep (the head right above the elbow). I was told to keep my arm in a sling. I was put on anti inflammatories and a muscle relaxer. It really does not hurt, but throbbs a bit if used in the day. There is no "popeye sign". I was told it would heal itself and to do ice 20 mins on and 20 mins off. Anyone ever had this where it healed well? We are going on vacation in a month and am doing nothing at all with the arm except small range movements. Anyone ever had this and been better in that time period or any medical advice? I was told it is not bad enough for surgery, but maybe steroid injections if not better in a few weeks. Any help or thoughts?
