    Re: Bicep Tendon Injury - Proximal?

    Buckley,
    orthopedic testing is probably required in this case to determine if the long head of the bicep or subscap tendons have been torn.
    My suggestion is Wikipedia reference-linkMRI it will tell you exactly what is going on, and there is no guess work involved.
    If i had to hazard a guess i would say you have torn one if not both of the tendons mentioned above.

    Re: Bicep Tendon Injury - Proximal?

    Ok, thanks for your advice.

    If that is the case then what would be the next step? Let the Tendon heal itself? Or would you normally have an op for something like this?

    As I say there is no pain in the actual shoulder itself nor from the tendon that goes over the top of my shoulder (fom the bicep). The pain is right at the very front where the tendon inserts from the bicep. No pain when my palm is facing downwards.
