@@OrthoEvalPal just happened to me. Pain isn’t very much, only with sudden, or quick movement. More of an aching dull pain. I don’t feel the tendon with the hook test however, but I’m wondering if that’s because it’s kind of swollen. Could this be grade 2? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, was boxing and felt pain after throwing left hooks, felt tight and bicep bruised. I can do the test, maybe not as serious as I thought, No pain, just tightness and bruising.
I love you man I just joined the gym did some relatively heavy weights until I couldn’t anymore it hurts so I thought I tore it I LOVE YOU MAN THANKS SO MUCH you have relived me
Oh my good I thank You so much I literally thought I lost them both my arms because the pain isn't going after 72 hrs after exercise thanks so much doc
Thanks for the video, you really calmed me down. I was doing hammer curls and suddenly felt a pain. Its neither blue nor painful anymore, but I dont feel too comfortable putting it under load. Is there a way to release tightness of the brachialis? It feels like my brachialis, right on the outside in the elbow bend where it crosses from lower to upperarm might be super tight and needs releasing. Regards
You could try a massage gun, manual massage or foam roller also a light stretch by straightening the elbow and using the other hand to push the wrist down toward the floor and out like a tennis elbow stretch.
Im laying in bed with a distal rupture right now. Kind of nervous because i csnt see an ortho until next month for it. Will it be too late to get it fixed? By the time i get in there it will be 4 weeks since injury
Can hook it but we have to push against the muscles. Right? And something kind of moves over it, if touched from the front and not hooking it. Is something broken or are they the veins or nerves?
i train kickboxing and this wednesday our trainer thought it was a good idea to do 30minutes of bicep curls going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and then start from the bottom again the next day the joint above my elbow was hurting and couldnt straighten my hand without pain but went on to training and today it was even worse. started worrying if its really just muscle pain but with this test i could atleast feel the tendon and could feel it stop my finger from moving though didnt fell as big as i expected :D anyway probably not a tear but overworked or something
@@permanent8387i also have the same problem... It was literally the second time i was doing bicep curls and the next day i cant straighten my arms... But i can feel my tendons... Should i consult a doctor or it will resolve with proper rest?
@@mcuisall6033 i mean how should i know :D for me it went away in a week (after like 5-6days i could just barely feel it). massage and stretch reguraly and it should go away faster. also preferrably dont exercise anything that uses hands to properly rest and ofcourse to avoid the immense amount of pain. but some light excersice could help (do your own research) if the pain is the same after like a week then you should probably start being alittle worried
It was literally the second time i was doing bicep curls and the next day i cant straighten my arms... But i can feel my tendons... Should i consult a doctor or it will resolve with proper rest? Also i feel tightness and soreness while straightening arms... It's been 2 days but the pain is not going
I am also feeling the same it's been 2 days but the pain has not gone what should I do? And can you explain best position for sleeping while going through this problem
@@OrthoEvalPal if I’m understanding correctly, my distal bicep is fine as I can feel the connective tissue and preform the hook test. My hook test went exactly as you described in this video with a mushy feeling as I rotate upwards.
I really need to know myself. Based on this test I don't have a rupture, but it seems like my biceps absolutely will not recover from this sore feeling, even after not working them for over a month. I can work through the pain whenever I wanted, but it's kind of worrying.
I was literally overthinking if i ruptured my distal bicep tendon. Thank you for the info, i can feel it when i hook it😌
Happy to help!

@@garydelong7750 sorry to say but you might have a complete rupture
@@ShadowNeltyikes 😨
Bro my arm is swollen compared to other. Is it normal for gym goers?
I was arm wrestling and experiencing severe pain in that very spot and was super worries about a tear. But this video helped me realize I was fine.
Same bro
Same but after stopping arm wrestling I back to only workout but I lost a loooooot of strength in one arm
Same
Thanks doc got scared for a sec😅
Thanks I was gonna go to the doctor but I can feel my tendon
did a new biceps exercise at the gym and after 72hr i still feel some pain/soreness was worried i tore something. thank you
Did it take time to heal?
Thanks, was boxing and felt pain after throwing left hooks, felt tight and bicep bruised. I can do the test, maybe not as serious as I thought, No pain, just tightness and bruising.
Thanks for sharing 💪😃
No problem 👍
Thanks doc
You are welcome!
Well I got the wrong side of the coin flip on this one
I love you man I just joined the gym did some relatively heavy weights until I couldn’t anymore it hurts so I thought I tore it I LOVE YOU MAN THANKS SO MUCH you have relived me
You are welcome! Hope you get better soon!
love you uncle
Left a mark on my arm
What if there’s still partially tendon attached, will it be ok and how long to get better?
Nice explanation. Help a lot
Glad it was helpful!
thank you sir
Thanks Doc
You are welcome!
I can hook it. But it feels weird and sensitive when doing it.
I'm kinda late to it but i suggest you see a doctor
Oh my good I thank You so much I literally thought I lost them both my arms because the pain isn't going after 72 hrs after exercise thanks so much doc
You are welcome!
Hey did the pain go after days???
Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤
It took away the pain doing that, I wonder how long my arm will feel good again?
I was overthinking that I tore my bicep cuz it hurts badly, tysm, helps me a lot :)
You are welcome!
Can we misintepret the brachialis tendon for a bicep tendon in the hook test? Please answer me . Thanks in advance?
Thanks i was gwtting scared
You are welcome!
Now it become my favourite too....👌👍
Sometimes there are ridges on my left bicep and it hurts but it is not a rupture it stays for few days and then goes away
It is painful if apply it with pressure. Should i just take som weeks off?
That works !

I have a rupture do I have to get surgery or could I still lift weights without it?
mate you need to stop what you doing and go to the doctors
Im laying in bed with a distal rupture right now. Kind of nervous because i csnt see an ortho until next month for it. Will it be too late to get it fixed? By the time i get in there it will be 4 weeks since injury
When you hook is it pose to feel weird?
yep mines ruptured lol
gg
What if i cant feel
I can’t hook it 😢. Can it recover? I’m getting worried here.
Just go to a doctor man
Thought I just hyperextended my elbow playing volleyball today but no hook for me 😢. Let me know thoughts on treatment. I am very active 40yr old
You should have it verified by ortho specialist
Can hook it but we have to push against the muscles. Right? And something kind of moves over it, if touched from the front and not hooking it. Is something broken or are they the veins or nerves?
It's usually the tendon that you feel doing that. You should have a medical provider check it out.
@@OrthoEvalPal Thank you
What about long head
I hope to god i'm doing this wrong.
Cuz i feel nothing there.
Get well soon bruh
Get it checked by an orthopedic specialist
Same😭😭
It is very pain full just above and below on joints... It is hard to straighten up my hands
Same plz tell me I feel the same do I have what he is talking about or is it normal
Doc, where are you located?
Northern Maine
Doc my right side(pain) I can feel hook but less tender than left(no pain) , what does that mean?
It is good if you can hook the tendon.
i train kickboxing and this wednesday our trainer thought it was a good idea to do 30minutes of bicep curls going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and then start from the bottom again
the next day the joint above my elbow was hurting and couldnt straighten my hand without pain but went on to training and today it was even worse.
started worrying if its really just muscle pain
but with this test i could atleast feel the tendon and could feel it stop my finger from moving though didnt fell as big as i expected :D
anyway probably not a tear but overworked or something
Most probably delayed onset muscle soreness.
@@OrthoEvalPal hopefully and well see but sure is on a whole other level of pain 😁most likely because i havent really done bicepcurls for a long time
@@permanent8387 how is it now i think i have the same thing

Sounds like you might have pushed it too hard and have delayed onset muscle soreness. Work on gently regaining motion but don't push it too hard.
I am also feeling the same it's been 2 days but the pain has not gone what should I do? And can you explain best position for sleeping while going through this problem
I can hook both my arm but why i feel tightness and Soreness when straightening my arm 🥲
Hard to answer without seeing you.
I cannot straighten my arm it's painful i only rub ice is it good?
How does it feel right now ?
I'm having the same issue, I can't straighten it and its swollen
@@yolo8153 i suffered same issue last year but it got fixed after a week tho, if u still cant straighten it maybe u should consult
@@yolo8153 i have also the same problem 😢
@@devaop124 bro when you are in pain you continued to do exercise or weightlifting?
@@shahzaibalisiyal6283 not really but try laying down and then try to straighten your arms you'll feel better
I have the tear. Is there PT that I can do to rehab it, or will I need surgery?
Not if it is completely torn, and if it is the distal biceps.
I actually have a friend who has a complete distal biceps tear, who never had a repaired and functions quite well without pain
@@OrthoEvalPal if I’m understanding correctly, my distal bicep is fine as I can feel the connective tissue and preform the hook test. My hook test went exactly as you described in this video with a mushy feeling as I rotate upwards.
@@SeanAlexanderThirtyEight is your biceps riding higher up your arm than the other side?
@@OrthoEvalPal inside half of the bicep is sagging into the ditch of my arm, the outside half is sitting where it should be.
So if I have a hook is it good or bad
If you can hook around the tendon, that is good!
❤❤❤
❤
Scary
so, if you can hook it, is that bad or good?
If you can hook it, it is good.
@@OrthoEvalPal hello șir i posted a video on my page can u look at it and say if my bicep is dislocated?
@@OrthoEvalPal how much time it will take to recover
@@stephensam8605 6-9 months before doing any heavy lifting. There are many factors which can make that timeframe vary though.
It fit...........THEN WTF IS CAUSING THIS PAIN IN MY BICEP?!!!!?!? thnx for the advice btw
I really need to know myself. Based on this test I don't have a rupture, but it seems like my biceps absolutely will not recover from this sore feeling, even after not working them for over a month. I can work through the pain whenever I wanted, but it's kind of worrying.
@@baikoukimodo5760 get checked with a doctor it might be serious
Why don't you just look at your bicep
Yup mine is fucked
No way. I just messed mine up too can’t straighten my arm
Nemk hot Kahan pan te😊
