Question: i have an issue with bicep tendonitis

Answered by Dr. Dr. Praveen Tayal (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Can happen due to stress and strain.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Biceps tendonitis usually happens due to excessive stress and strain in the area. In case there is an associated swelling or pain on touching then an internal bleeding or tear needs to be ruled out after an MRI scan. You can write in detail about the problem so that we can discuss about the probable treatment options.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.

hey ive gotten an mri scan, and there is no damage that can assessed. there is some edema but that is it. however, this issue has been going on for over 9 months. ive done PT, a cortisone, and taken perscription NSAIDs and nothing has helped! what do i do?

Answered by Dr. Dr. Praveen Tayal (14 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Rest, mild anti inflammatory medicines and PT will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Tendonitis suggests inflammation of the tendon that is suggested by edema found on MRI scan. Regular anti inflammatory medicines with physiotherapy and avoiding all the painful activities will help. You can also get a recent MRI scan done to see the change in these 9 months.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
