Obviously, the business of taking medical advice online to heart is dumb and I fear a trip to the doctor may well be necessary. But. ...

I woke up Monday with a pain in my right bicep area. Basically it's ok unless I extend my arm laterally (kind of like you'd do in a back swing), then it hurts significantly. 

Originally, my assumption was that I slept on it wrongly and it would go away in a day or so. It even seemed slightly better Tuesday morning, but no real progress since then. Can't think of anything specific that might have caused it. but golf is probably out for this weekend.

Anyone have anything like that? Does that sound like some sort of repetitive motion problem?

It's getting easier for me to list parts of my body that DON'T hurt on a regular basis. It's getting worse since I cancelled my gym membership.

I hope you get well soon, @mcanadiens. Was this spurred on by an excessive amount of golf? Last August I either bruised or fractured a rib after overdoing it on the course. Put me down for 4ish weeks.

That's the pisser. If anything it's the opposite.

Took a week off after the Club Championship disaster. Played Saturday. Did nothing much Sunday and now I'm hurting. Go figure.

Well, we'll see how it goes. Don't want to give away money just to have them tell me to take it easy.

Indeed. I hope it isn't serious, and taking it easy seems to be the right play (or at least it has been for me on this kind of stuff).

Don't do anything silly like that. Doctors are for wimps. Give it a rest and make sure you stretch and warm up properly once you feel ready, and make sure you ease back into it. I had to lay off golf for a couple of weeks once due to a shoulder injury. When I came back I used an extra club or two and swung easier.

I had a bicep strain from shoveling two winters ago that took months to heal. I could still play. The pain was on the tendon going into the elbow joint from the muscle.

Ice it three or four times a day for a couple of days then do heat. You need to reduce inflammation first, then get it to heal. Try to avoid straining it. I did PT and they had me do very light bicep curls, but it that was after a couple of weeks healing. When I played, I wore a compression sleeve.

See your Dr if icing doesn’t help in a few days.

Thanks @Carl3 and @boogielicious.

It has been feeling slightly better with each day, so I should be safe from the doctor anyway.

The ice sounds like a good idea, so I'll give that a shot. 

Now the question becomes what the heck I do with my weekend. I'm actually fairly caught up on yard work to. Guess I'll go get a book to read.

You can also use this time to work on things that don't require full swing like gripping the club, putting, chip shots. Think about what you can do instead of doing nothing. Just a thought.

I'm sure I'll find something to do.

If the weather holds up, knocking around the practice green will probably happen. Those short-game shots are finicky things that need to be fed regularly. No sense letting that go to hell.

Besides, I can do that much for free.

At this point you’ll want to use ice and heat.

For what it's worth, I feel back to normal now. Even hit some balls (gently) at the range yesterday and am feeling no ill effects now.

Not sure now if this was some kind of fluke, but I guess the wiser thing would be to assume it isn't and try to do more preventive things to keep it from happening again.

If you can, wear a compression sleeve while hitting at the range for a while. Mats and repetition can aggravate it. You may not need it on the course, but the area is still healing.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
