I'm having this pinching pain deep in my left bicep, kind of near the middle and close to the bone. It kicks in whenever I flex my bicep, and I got this from the gym. I've rested but it hasn't eased up. Why hasn't the pain reduced even after taking it easy?

The most likely causes are tendinitis, a muscle strain, or nerve-related issues. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its essential to consult a healthcare provider who can properly assess your injury and guide you through a treatment plan. In the meantime, rest, ice, gentle stretching, and avoiding activities that strain the bicep are crucial steps. A tailored rehab plan or physical therapy might be helpful to fully recover from the injury.
