My bicept started to hurt after a tennis game. This makes about 1 year and an half. What could it be?
I was playing with my friend on a tennis court. A couple of time per weeks and then i’ve start to pratice my "services". So i kept smashing the ball but then it started to hurt a bit and then more and i had to stop playing.
This is like a year and an half ago. I’ve ask my gym trainor but he tought it could be what we call a "tennis elbow". Altough reading on the internet, a tennis elbow doesn’t refer to a bicept.
It doesn’t hurt often. Just when i use it too much and too hard, then i’ll start to feel the pain. Of course they told me the best thing would be to get some radiography but oh well …i didn’t feel the need to get to this… Still i’m wondering what could be the problem… i though that with time, the pain would go away and that i would have healed…
An exemple of what could realy hurt is if i do "crush heads" in the gym with heavy weight… after the first repetition ill start feeling it…
Any ideas?

Tennis elbow does not involve the biceps. the biceps are located above your elbow joint. Tennis elbow involves the wrist flexors muscles which are located below your elbow joint. I am not sure what crush heads are but it sounds like you are overusing your biceps. with any excerises the weight should be challening but not hurting. Try droping the weight a bit and stretchig before. A good rotator cuff strenghtenting program should help to stabalize the shoulder joint and take the load off the biceps. If the Rotator cuff muscles are weak you will compresate with other muscles in your case its;s your biceps
Well tennis as we all now is a pretty involving and physically stressful sport. I play tennis recreationaly and I know how much you can hurt the day after.
Make sure you are doing an extensive stretching routine before and after your matches because stretching will help prevent injury.
As for tennis, there are many injuries that can be attributed, including tennis elbow, Achilles tendon injuries etc.
For any tendon injury, it is important to implement the R.I.C.E.R. regime (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and Referral to a sports doctor if the injury doesn’t heal). This needs to happen for the first 48-72 hours as this is the most crucial time in the healing process.
I have included a link to an article on tennis injuries from this amazing site on sports injury prevention and treatment:

Good Luck and I hope it heals soon!
