i am going through the same thing right now, except it's my right shoulder. I asked the trainer at the gym what to do, and he told me that I have to give that muscle a rest and that time is the only thing that can cure it. IOW, don't use your bicep muscle for a little while and give it a break..You've been straining yourself too much and you need a break. Work on other parts of your body for now is what my guy told me..
But the muscles need to be worked or get sore or they will atrophy. Plus he has a trainer. So the trainer is making him exercise the biceps until they are sore. Unless you totally overwork them, a little temporary relief, you are right temporary, and a day of rest should be adequate. Boy Sicky, did I get the tar baby having fun with your post. At least you know wil is there for you. You are my favorite poster. I figured behind the self depreciation you were a sharp cookie. I learned another lesson, the hard way...OF
are you taking any supplements at all? I have a nice list I could send you that would help your recovery time.

The typical personal trainer forces you to go 100% before your muscles are properly warmed up,ripping them to shreds, getting lesser results.
Do an easy set of curls
Do a not so easy set.
Do a hard set.
Do a "OW!" set.
Repeat if time allows with another exercise.
Don't touch arms again for 4 days.

Don't believe that story. It made sense to me as well when I has given that story ten years ago...have had to ice it 4 of the last five nights....

Would Testosterone be considered a supplement?
