After doing a few problems outdoors, followed by a hefty indoor climbing and training session on Sunday I discovered a small bruise and tender to the touch patch at the base of my bicep. Although it didn't hurt when I used the muscle, when contracted there was a fifty pence piece size dimple type thing.
Quietly shitting myself I dragged myself off to the doctor who said (as the title would suggest) I'd torn a load of muscle fibres. To my surprise she told me to keep climbing and training as usual, as this would help it get better.
As part of my uni course I study sports injuries quite a lot and what I've learnt suggests that training is the worst thing I should do.
Have any of you had a similar injury and what were you told?
