Well here is a picture of what really got me worried.. Sorry for the crappy pic...



The pic doesn' show very well but the bruise is purple and black in places.

See, 5 days after lifting it was still sore, but I hit the heavy bag anyway, then that night I sparred with a friend of mine and that made it really sore. The next day (Sunday) during church I was squeezing and massaging the muscle down by the elbow where it hurt most.

Monday morning I had these nasty bruises right there where it was previously sore. It's not sore there anymore though but the bruises made me think I must have tore something.

Could the bruises be from the massaging or are they from damage I did? The muscle isn't sore right there any more but it's a little bit sore on the rest of the bicep.Â
