i had exrays and they were negitive, so its not a bone.....could i have orn a tendon? does this need surgery?

Well that will teach you for arm wrestling wont it???!!!!

I have no idea what could have made a cracking sound? Doesnt sound good tho.
I remember i got involved in a marathon arm wrestling match in a pub a few years ago, before i started lifting seriously. Neither of us would give up and it lasted for about 4-5 mins going back and forward. The next day in work my arm felt like it had helium baloons tied to it! It kept on feeling like it was going to float away. Very strange.

If it keeps on giving you grief bro, youll have to go back to the doctors but it should clear up on its own.

Good luck

It sounds like you've got a strain of the biceps tendon or something similiar. If the tendon is ruptured completely, you will need surgery.

Its a he. Taffy, 3 years old. He's funny as hell. Yesterday he was barking at somthing outside, so i let him out, he went charging out into the dark and ran straight into my lawn mower at full speed.He totalled the lawnmower, got up, just shook his head and ran into the garden. I was nearly crying!

ice ice ice bro

put your arm in a position like it was in a sling with ice in the bend
with no tension on the tendon and ice for a few days you'll have a better idea what youre dealing with
could just be a strain

fingers x'd for you man!

You didn't turn your hat around backwards, "Over The Top" style. If you would have done that you would have kicked that guy's ass no problem.

But seriously, if you heard that kind of sound then it was probably a tear.
A ligament is more of a popping sound......at least in my experience.
Good luck with you're recovery.

 

[tboy72]

thanks for the reply everyone. if its not a complete tear witch i will be finding out soon. how long do these things ussualy take to repair themselves?
and thanks again for all the help....

I gave up armwrestling because everytime I do i end up in the same boat as you. Give it about a week and you should be good to go.
