pulled muscle

[Darkmind]

Hi guys. Well I have a question having to do with my arm muscle - I can easily pull it. It's either my bicep, brachialis, or maybe some rotator cuff muscle or maybe I just stretch it out too much, when I both tense it too much (like bear hugs, arm wrestling), or when I throw a football. Anyone know why this occurs? Anyways to prevent future injury? It hurts now, and being a courtesy clerk doesn't help heal it (with pushing the carts and all). Thanks

Can you narrow down exactly where you're having symptoms? Any pain at rest? List all the movements that reproduce the pain? Any symptoms below the main area of pain?

The pain usually comes back if I strain it too much. My dad said I could have tendonitis. The tendon fibers rubbing against my muscle and bone irritating it.
