    		Brachial is the arm.

    The Brachialis muscle and the Biceps Brachi.

    I have strained both in the past. 6 months to recoop.

    		Yes...but, the term "brachial" is also used for birds...and they don't have arms, thus brachium:

    The part of the upper arm or forelimb extending from the shoulder to the elbow. An arm or a homologous anatomical structure, such as a flipper or wing. The part of a limb or process corresponding to an arm.
