Torn bicep tendon

Tore bicep tendon 3 weeks ago. Finally got into see ortho – he has given me two options – Surgery or no surgery!
I am 36 years old and need to make a decision by next week.Questions?What are the downsides to surgery?Will I always have pain in the arm? I understand I will lose some strength but will I still be able to work out the muscle without pain? I have had rotator cuff surgery before and the recovery was awful and arm is worse than before surgery! Am worried about all of the downsides of surgery – any thing you can add to help in my decision? Thanks to all who can help

    I hurt my sholder at work and they think that it might bea torn bicep tendon. They said I am not a good canidate for surgery because I have a connective tissue desise and fibomyalgia. I need to go back to work but it hurts to do everything. Do you have any ideas to help. thanks gail
