torn bicep
(2 discussions)
My friend and I were “indian arm wrestling” and my right bicep made 2 loud pops, like a gun shot. then my arm hurt like hell. pardon my french. I rested it for a couple of days, but I didn’t put ice or heat on it and didn’t rest it like I should have. After that my bicep has a bulge on the upper part of my arm. this happened about 2 years ago. The only time I have any pain is when I lots of bicep curl reps. But for the most part I don’t have any pain. Can this be repaired with surgery? And if it can, what type of doc should I talk to about it? Thank you.

You have a classic bicep tendon tear. You should go see an ortho doc and see if a repair can be done at this late stage in the game. I heard the longer you wait the less likely it can be repaired, but maybe things have changed over the years.
