4. Biceps Tendonitis Symptoms
The most prevalent symptom reported by patients with biceps tendonitis is a deep, throbbing pain in the front of the shoulder. The pain is most troublesome at night, especially if a person sleeps on the affected side. Overhead movement of any kind makes the pain worse, and the muscle may also be weak.3Churgay C. ‘Diagnosis and Treatment of Biceps Tendinitis and Tendinosis.’ American Family Physician. 2009 1 Sept.80(5):470-47, www.aafp.org/afp/2009/0901/p470.html.
Sometimes, biceps tendonitis includes an external, visual sign. A bulge on the upper arm is possible with biceps tendonitis. Orthopedists may call this a Popeye bulge.1‘Biceps Tendinitis.’ Ortho Info. www.orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases–conditions/biceps-tendinitis.
