Aside from starting too many threads? (Apologies, jekkyl!)
For the last week or so, the spot where my deltoid and bicep meet on my right arm, has been sore. Not so much that it has stopped me from doing anything other than chin-ups, mind you, but enough that, if I have to exert my arm with too much force, or I move it in the wrong way, I can feel it and it makes me wince.
On the way home today, I was accelerating quickly at a junction and so pulling hard on the handlebars, when it suddenly hurt quite a bit more and is now throbbing.
I have taken some ibuprofen now, but I am wondering what I did to it. I don't remember injuring it in any way. Could I have pulled or torn a muscle without realising it more than a week ago?
To explain the pain/discomfort further, it feels a bit like the arm is dead and achy, but this is limited to the upper arm, close to where I described above.
Old age?
Trapped nerve ?
A dull ache in your right arm?
Any problems with your eyesight? 😉
It'll make you go blind eventually.
AIDS
You're assuming I'm right-handed, pp. 🙂
(I am.)
It's the will of the big fella. He has his reasons.
Cat aids
The bad kind
RSI from mobile phone
Have you tried spot cream?
Brexit?
Cat Ebola!
TBH I'm astonished that a man with as many children is able to manage out of bed in the morning never mind attempting chin ups.
You are a better man than I, Gunga Din.
As you get older you will start to get aches and pains, the main thing is don't let them slow you down.
I'd say the likeliest explaination is that you were doing some activity that you don't normally do. Have a think back to around the time you first noticed the pain, including the day before (in fact very much the day before!), you were probably doing like using a screwdriver etc..
Armpox
Miasma

I developed a dull pain in my right bicep area around 4 weeks ago,gradually got worse with unbearable stabbing pains
Went to see a Physio,turned out to be a pinched nerve in my neck.She gave me a daily program on improving posture,slowly gettiing back to normal now.
Didn't stop me riding or running,very uncomfortable at times though.
Any pain in your legs? Could be a prelude to saxon-knee
Have you considered asking someone who might actually be able to help you?
That's where I think I'd start. Or are you seriously looking for an answer here?
Have you tried switching it off.
And then switching it back on again?
ingrowing hair? tried sudocream?
You're riding a something with 26inch wheels? You need bigger wheels also I am not a doctor so please seek professional advice.

I have no fear of doctors and physios. And if my sore are was to get worse, or to have been something significant from the beginning, visiting either might have made sense.
As it is, seeing as I have never pulled a muscle or torn anything in my arm before, I asked here is that's what it could be.
No big deal, and no one, including me, was harmed in the process. Although thestabiliser's joke was a bit painful.
Pulled muscles often don't hurt at the time of pulling but several hours later.
RSI from starting too many threads! 😆
Overexertion, no danger were we built to do daily pull-ups!
I don't know the answer but the solution is diclofenac sodium 3 times a day.
IANAD.
is Saxonrider the new Krypton...?
Is it a baby robin?

I've had it and it sounds similar to what you have experienced. Although what you have could be plenty of other things.
7 years pretty much to the day*, I got a dull ache around where the deltoid joins the bicep. After a day or 2 it developed into an intense amount of pain that lasted for an hour or so, then it swelled up. Continued to ache with my arm feeling quite 'dead' and weak (No surprise as it was partially paralysed), e.g. it was my left arm and changing gear in the car was difficult.
NHS had no clue as to what it was. Seeing a private physio months later and they picked up it might be nerve related so referred me to a shoulder specialist. He knew straight away. After 7 years most of the muscle function is back (and has been for a while), shoulder still skinny in comparison to my right one though. I don't think there is actually a treatment for it, you just have to wait for the nerve to recover. It's similar to Bell's Palsy.
Have you had a cold or other illness recently?
