about five or six weeks ago i left the gym and noticed stretchmarks on my right bicep. a frined said it was ok, just battle scars. i then realized the entire arm would fill with blood and swell any time i used it slightly. few days later after throwing the football my arm swelle up really good. as the swelling went down i noticed severe bruising on the bicep and pain in my arm pit where the muscle begins. still today my entire arm, including forearm is slightly larger than my left. there seems to be too much blood flowing in the arm anytime i use it for phusical activity. what do you guys advise? i have no insurance. thank you in advance

You won't find many people that try and diagnose something like that. Insurance or not, you need to see a doctor.

I agree, you need to see a doctor... insurance or not. They will usually work with you if you don't have any. Not that I am a doctor or anything, but random swelling is NEVER a good thing.
