I was getting a little
biceps tendinitis. Leaning over having it behind my back didn't feel good anymore.
The patient went to a private clinic where the diagnosis was distal
biceps tendinitis. The first doctor gave a local steroid injection, but the symptoms recurred about one month later.
Shih-Wei Huang et al [9] studied a total of 336 shoulder pain patients with suspected
biceps tendinitis, of which a total of 136 patients were classified with
biceps tendinitis and 200 patients were classified as not having
biceps tendinitis based on the diagnostic criteria.
He said he's had touches of
biceps tendinitis in the past.
There was tenderness in bicipital groove due to
biceps tendinitis. External rotation of the left shoulder joint was painful and diminished.
Biceps tendinitis is the inflammation of the tendon around the long head of the biceps muscle.
Other causes of antecubital fossa pain should be ruled out, including
biceps tendinitis, bicipital bursitis, and pronator syndrome.
Intrinsic causes include vascular changes and weakness of the tendon with fraying of the tendon to frank tears, inflammatory arthritis, calcification,
biceps tendinitis and posterior capsular tightness.
The conditions causing shoulder pain (in order of frequency, as seen by primary care physicians) are subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), adhesive capsulitis, acute bursitis, calcific tendinitis, glenohumeral arthrosis,
biceps tendinitis, and labral tear.
