This is just from training? It almost sounds like youre talking about having done an injection in your triceps I can see how youd have some problems if you injected a bunch of test prop in there. If its just training I cant see how it would be so stiff that you cant bend your arm unless you sustained an injury.

dude 5 months ago I was curling dumbells all of a sudden bam a sharp pain shot down my are it is on the inside of my elbow so now any motions like a curl it kills me and this was atleast 5months back. i havent really been back since i cant have a full range of motion I thought time would heal it but wrong, maybe have it checked out to be safe, i wish i had done so! good luck!

What about extending it, like tying to flex the the tri's? Compare both arms looking for any asymmetry as it sounds like a severe strain causing inhibitory feedback when you goto stretch it. Another possibility is if it has a soft end-feel but can't be bent because of the pain is the limiting factor then it could be ulnar nerve irritation(which fucking throbs like a son of a bitch, sometimes even in resting position). No matter what you gotta find a way to calm down the inflammatory process while continuing to lightly stretch it so it doesn't tighten up further. After 2 days its probably too late for ice but you can try it anyways. Everybody is different but I can go from a 10/10 on the pain scale to almost no pain with 1 day of Voltaran(a Rx anti-inflammatory).

Noticed you said arm not arms. Are both arms hard to bend or just 1?
If its just 1 arm thats hard to bend better get that checked. If both arms
then they should come around with a little more time.

i try to keep ibuprofen around just in case something happens while working out. its anti inflamatory properties can help a lot if you take it as soon as something happens and do not wait.
