Is it possible I tore a tendon?

[Holes-Of-Glory]

I know no one on GAG is a doctor, i guess I'm looking for some reassurance. My right bicep feels sore, it hurts to straighten my arm, but its not agonizing, just really tender to the touch and stiff. With two tiny bruises on it. If someone tore a tendon wouldn't the pain be unbearable?

A torn tendon would give you more pain near the elbow area. I assume you work out or just pulled a muscle while doing an activity, so it's probably inflamed.
Apply the RICE method.
Rest, ice, compression, and elevation.

I was splitting some wood for a friend and moving some heavy pieces of wood yesterday and Monday.

that could be it. let it rest and see how you feel in a week.

I recently pulled a hammy, i could hardly sleep. Nothing long term. Give it couple weeks with no strain.

That's enough masturbation for a while I suppose.

i wouldn't jump to the conclusion of a torn tendon, but it is possible

If the nerve end is affected, there will be pain.
