where my right bi cep used to be before all this crap, there is now a depression.
if i turn my forearm to the right and flex like doing a curl i have an egg shaped lump that i can grab with my left hand and move around. it is firm to the touch but this is not present on my left arm.
also when i really flex hard there is some pain there...moderate but it feels and looks weird.
any ideas????????

Hi <<<<< Johnny' >>>>>,
Not sure about the depression/dent,but teh egg shaped lump,that can be moved a bit,might be a Lypoma [sp.?].
My husband has several,on his back and arms...they can be painful,most are fatty tissue w/ liquid in them.
I'm not are Dr. tho',but it sounds like it might be Lypoma,or a muscle knot...both could cause some pain.
I had a small tear in a muscle in my upper leg years back,and it left a lump w/ a dent just below it... perhaps have it checked if you can get to a LL Dr.
There will be others along,that might have more ideas on what the problem is,and what could be done to ease it.
I hope this helps tho'...and if I get the odd bump area,and don't recall an injury,I often use a rice buddy [an old sock filled w/ dry uncooked rice grains heated in the Microwave for about 2 minutes,holds heat about 30 min.].
If your lump is a lypoma that prolly wont help. I hope it eases and stops swelling/lumping soon.
