Possible torn bicep muscle

[tflexxin]

during training back on tuesday, I felt a slight "tinge" in my left arm. It became painful after the workout, once the pump was gone. It's along the outer head of the bicep. Was painful to the touch, running from the bottom to the top near my shoulder. I iced and took ibuprofen. The next day, I have some redness along that area, running the length of my bicep. Two days removed now, I can fully staighten my arm, flex my bi, push pull etc without any pain. Still slightly painful to the touch, and the redness seems to have spread. No bruising, just this redness. Also, warm to the touch, which seems to indicate some irritation or infection?
Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like you MAY have torn some muscle... any distortion in the shape if you can flex it?

nope. But there is some slight swelling associated with the redness. I figure to take it very easy for a few days, if it continues then it's off to the doc!
