Bicep Tendonitis, How To Deal With It
If you are into sports the biggest question I think you might have is how do you get bicep tendonitis? And how do I prevent it? So in this article I will share with you the steps needed so you can avoid it. Tendonitis is result of overstress to the bicep tendon. Having a weak tendon might make the risk of getting it higher but even if you do have a strong bicep overtraining and over stressing your bicep can wear your bicep tendons out. When this happens you will begin to feel pains where these tendons lie and this pain can severely hamper your activity
Overdone repetitive moves that stress the tendon will inevitable give you bicep tendonitis. Like throwing a football or performing way too many bicep curls or movements.
Symptoms of bicep tendonitis may include
- Pain when bending your arm
- Localized softness or tenderness
- From time to time hearing a pop sound in your shoulder as well as feeling a sudden sharp pain in your shoulder area.
So the next question that arises is that you are wondering how to prevent bicep tendonitis.
If you feel bicep tendonitis is creeping up on you its time to take action. It's a very annoying injury to acquire and its only cure is rest. But the problem is that some serious athletes can't completely rest or take time off. In that case the best thing to do is ice it regularly. Icing an injury will help with preventing bicep tendonitis and will help speed up recovery. Another thing to do is regularly stopping and stretching the targeted muscle that also could be very useful. And the last thing is don't push it. By this I mean that serious athletes always want to push themselves and that's fine but not when you might acquire bicep tendonitis. In that case take any rest opportunity you can find. Rest in reality is the only cure
So lets say you where unable to prevent the bicep tendonitis and you come down with an acute case. What do you do?
-Rest. Like I mention above. Rest is the only true cure for tendonitis. At this point you need to stop all and any strenuous activity on your bicep muscle
- Ice. Apply a cold pack or ice on the bicep with tendonitis for 20 minutes 4 times a day until swelling dies down
-Stretching. After acute pain has died down you should perform light, gentle stretches to the bicep with tendonitis. -
Medication. Take ibuprofen (Advil. Etc) to help with any pain and to help with inflammation
Try to avoid bicep tendonitis from the beginning. Do this by avoiding over training. Its one thing to train hard its another to over do it. So be careful with your training and avoid bicep tendonitis
