Tear in forearm muscle possible? Common?

[Desibaba]

Last week i did my last workout before the hurricane hit florida.Back/Biceps/Forearms.I didnt notice at any point any pain or anything like that.But almost the very next day i saw this reddish looking bruise about 6 inches down from where my palm starts.First i thought i might have hit my hand somewhere while sleeping or something but now im starting to think otherwise.I dont feel ANY pain all but its been one week and i have a large reddish/purple bruise there. Like maybe a vein ruptured or something inside got bruised or torn.Do you guys think i should get it checked out by a doc? I thought a muscle tear would be extremely painful but the discoloration hasnt gone for a week.Ill see if i can take a pic of it.Meanwhile do forearm muscle tears occur commonly??? I have never heard of it.

I've had muscle tears before in my forearms, and never bruised. The type of tears that I had ran parallel to my muscle fibers, so I only really had pain. All the muscle tears that I've had were from sports, and never from lifting (knock on wood).
