About 2 months ago i had went to the gym for the most intense bicep workout ever... then the pain came in and i think the 2nd or 3rd day in, it was at it's peak. The pain was so unbarable... i couldn't extend my arms... anything passes about 110 degree HURT like a bitch. I went to the doc's and she said i should be drinking a lot of gatorade to help it. I was stretching the whole time, about 8-10 times a day, and i think that helped me heal fully in about 2 weeks. During that whole peroid my arms were HUGE. Like i saw GROWTH... but I'm not sure if it was swelling... or actual muscle growth... i had been preparing for a good workout, drinking tons of water and eating carbs. The growth/swelling has gone down now, but I curious... if I kept working arms after the pain went away while my arms were still big, would they have gotten bigger? Was this growth or swelling?

Swelling. The part you mentioned about not being able to move your arm very much can happen if you are coming back from a layoff and hit the weights really hard and strain a tendon. It has happened to me and several other guys on here. I had limited arm movements for 1.5 weeks.
