Bicep Tendon Injury - Proximal?

[charlize29]

Hi Buckely,

A positive Speed's test is when you move your arm ( shoulder ) in front of you or flex it with the elbow extended while the forearm is in a supinated position with resistance. That definitely puts a strain on your biceps tendon in the bicipital groove..yes it can be very annoying . Try not to do activites that aggravate the condition. Your patience will pay off soon so do not worry too much

Thanks also for presenting your case and goodluck to you. Get well soon!!
Please keep us posted ok....

Morning guys,

See the physio again last night and he has advised that I need to just keep going with my stretching exercises and said that my shoulder capsule was very tight to start with. This is getting better. Last night my shoulder and bicep where sore after physio but this morning it's settled down a bit.

So he's said NO scan (MRI) for now just keep going with this treatment and ultrasound? He said it's pointless having an MRI when he already knows what the problem is!

Do you think he's right???

Another thing I haven't mention is that my left shoulder has never had the ROM my right shoulder has. In terms of flexibility. This is imrpoving but my tendon feels very similar to what it was say 2-3 weeks ago.. Is this normal?

I'm so impatient eh!

Please let me know your thoughts.

Many Thanks
