MRI at the hospital this afternoon confirms the original diagnosis... ruptured bicep tendon. Fortunately it's not at the attachments, but in the middle over the muscle belly, so no surgery required. Another 3-4 weeks with it wrapped in an Ace bandage, and I can start fencing again. YIPPEE!
The doctor even said I can play the violin!
If my memory serves me, this is the worst sports injury I've ever had, other than a broken finger when skiing, and I did that by getting it stuck in the bathroom door handle in the lodge, not on the slopes!
