Sometime in the past couple months, I injured my right bicep but don't remember when--so there wasn't any sort of traumatic "OWW, HOLY SH*T!" moment. It was just that one day, I noticed some trouble doing a dumbbell curl. Sharp pain, right at the insertion point to the tendon, heading toward the elbow. I have full range of motion normally and when lifting light weights--but the pain gets unbearable right at about 30 pounds (so I don't do that any more ) Interestingly, it's most noticeable when I have my wrists turned out like in concentration curls. But hammer curls are fine.

I have my suspicions about what it might be, just thought I'd see if anyone had experienced anything similar.
I have had similar problems with both biceps in the past Gerard, I actually had partial tears of the lower insertion. Both healed without surgery with time and temporary modification on my workouts.
