Understanding Bicep Tendon Injuries
The bicep muscle connects to the shoulder and elbow through tendons. Injuries can involve partial tears, complete ruptures, or inflammation of these tendons, often resulting from overuse, lifting heavy objects, or trauma.
Common Symptoms of Bicep Tendon Injuries Include:
- Sudden, sharp pain in the shoulder or elbow
- Bruising and swelling around the upper arm
- Weakness when bending the elbow or rotating the forearm
- A "popping" sound or sensation during injury
- Visible bulge in the upper arm ("Popeye" muscle deformity)
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent further damage and to achieve the best possible recovery.
