 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Think I tore my bicep a bit at work. Moving something heavy with one arm, low to the ground, in effect with an underhand grip. Felt/heard a pop. Lots of pain. Thought maybe dislocation as pain in elbow. Right at the start off work too, so had to complete shift without using my right arm. Anyway, no bruising but bicep looks a bit higher, can't lift anything, supination and pronation hurts bicep tendon and forearm too. Did hook test, and it's still attached. I'm off to Wales tomorrow. Gonna get Mrs to drive. Rest and Ice? Hospital? Any thoughts guys? ta | ||

 I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Where do you work Pete? Why on earth did you have to finish your shift if you were injured? Was it not logged as a works accident? Was it a normal task or were you not meant to lift this object? | ||

Why on earth did you have to finish your shift if you were injured? Was it not logged as a works accident? Was it a normal task or were you not meant to lift this object? Lifeguard at a pool. Didn't want to lumber the other lads with all the work. Thought i may have just pulled something and it'd ease off tbh but it didn't. Just been to a + e and it looks like a partial tear. X ray was ok. Will have scan next week. On way to Wales now. | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | Best bet is to get to the hospital to get it looked at. It could be a number of things. Don't wait either. | ||

Went for appointment and they poked and prodded and said it'll be a partial rupture. Booked me in for a scan in 6 weeks?! Anyway, seems a lot better now, so it must've been a small tear I suppose. | ||

Lifting up the pool to look underneath? The pool cover. It's a massive roll of blue stuff on a big metal roll thingy with castors. I tried to shove one side a bit but the brake was on the castor so I instinctively thought I'd lift and shove instead of taking the brake off! doh! | ||
