Ripped Lateral Head

[xtremetris]

Hi my name is Jermey, ive been working out for about 1 and a half years now and recently when i was doing Tricep Bench Press i felt something rip, but it was not as painful during the workout. The next day i really felt it, and i thought maybe i just hurt it. Now i can barley work the triceps out, the only exercise i can do without it hurting is the Tricep Pushdowns, anythign else kills the Lateral head, its been hurting for 2 weeks. Idk what to do, i was going to go to a doc but i dont have the money right now. Any ideas on what i should do?

From the web regarding torn triceps:

A torn triceps occurs when the muscle experiences more tension and torque than it can handle. Most tears are minor and can dealt with by allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Sometimes the tear is sever and surgery is called for.
How can you tell if you have a torn triceps? You will usually hear a pop coming from your arm and pain will be immediate evident in your arm and elbow area. You will also lose an appreciable amount of lifting capability.
What is the treatment for a minor triceps tear? Treatment options include rest, ice, heat, pain relief and mobility and strength exercises. The recovery time for a minor triceps tear can be one to four weeks.
What is the treatment for a major triceps tear? Treatment is surgery followed by intensive physical therapy. The recovery time for a major triceps tear is four to six months.
