will a partial tear of bicep tendon at the shoulder heal on its own? It has been 7 weeks since the injury (lifting weights) The pain has gotten much better and I can do all physical therapy w/o pain. But certain movements like reaching above my head the pain comes back. I m a golfer and once I swing above my shoulder height I feel a pinch/pain in my left anterior shoulder region. I received a cortisone shot and it had no effect. I ve also noticed a crack noise every time I do circular warmup stretches with arm out to the side. Doesn t hurt but does make the noise almost every time.
