torn arm muscle?

juldeaI'm trying to make a family-friendly post here, but in all reality to get the gist of my mood, insert at least two expletives per sentence in this entire post.
It's time for another episode of random injury theater, it seems. This one might even be injury of the season, if not the year, depending on how it pans out.
Yesterday I had minor but significant pain in my bicep restricting my range of motion. I have no reason memory of injuring or overstraining my arm in any way, but there you go. As of about two hours ago this pain has grown so great that I cannot sleep; I was unable to find a position that didn't hurt badly enough to disrupt. I woke up and iced my arm, discovered my range of pain-free motion is even smaller, now, and have generally been battling tears for an hour or so. I'm typing this entry with one hand to keep the other from causing movement at all.
The pain is focused on a spot around halfway down my upper arm, just to the outside of facing forward. In my limited knowledge, this is the outside of the bicep. It has radiated out from that spot all the way up to my shoulder and down to my forearm. Also in my limited knowledge I have assumed that this is a torn muscle, although how I accomplished this in my sedate lifestyle is beyond me.
Of course, despite the law and all of that, I do not have health insurance and cannot just saunter into a doctor's office. This is my own doing and not something I am complaining about. However, it puts a limit on what I can do now.
More expletives. And tears - those are in abundance here, too.
