Your orthopedic surgeon will work carefully to identify any other problems in your shoulder and treat them along with your tendinitis. Biceps tendinitis is typically first treated with simple methods. Rest. The first step toward recovery is to avoid activities that cause pain. Ice. Apply cold packs for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day, to keep swelling down. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines. Drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen reduce pain and swelling. Steroid injections. Steroids such as cortisone are very effective anti-inflammatory medicines. Injecting steroids into the tendon can relieve pain. Your doctor will use these cautiously. In rare circumstances, steroid injections can further weaken the already injured tendon, causing it to tear. Physical therapy. Specific stretching and strengthening exercises can help restore range of motion and strengthen your shoulder. If your condition does not improve with nonsurgical treatment, your doctor may offer surgery. Surgery may also be an option if you have other shoulder problems. Surgery for biceps tendinitis is usually performed arthroscopically. This allows your doctor to assess the condition of the biceps tendon as well as other structures in the shoulder. During arthroscopy, your surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into your shoulder joint. The camera displays pictures on a television screen, and your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments. Repair. Rarely, the biceps tendon can be repaired where it attaches to the shoulder socket (glenoid) . Biceps tenodesis. In some cases, the damaged section of the biceps is removed, and the remaining tendon is reattached to the upper arm bone (humerus) . This procedure is called a biceps tenodesis. Removing the painful part of the biceps usually resolves symptoms and restores normal function. Depending on your situation, your surgeon may choose to do this procedure arthroscopically or through an open incision. Tenotomy. In severe cases, the long head of the biceps tendon may be so damaged that it is not possible to repair or tenodese it. Your surgeon may simply elect to release the damaged biceps tendon from its attachment. This is called a biceps tenotomy. This option is the least invasive, but may result in a Popeye bulge in the arm. Surgical complications. Overall, complication rates are low, and your surgeon can correct them without difficulty. Infection, bleeding, stiffness, and other problems are possible complications. These are more likely to occur in open surgical procedures than in arthroscopic surgeries. Rehabilitation. After surgery, your doctor will prescribe a rehabilitation plan based on the procedures performed. You may wear a sling for a few weeks to protect the tendon repair. You should have immediate use of your hand for daily activities—writing, using a computer, eating, or washing. Your doctor may restrict certain activities to allow the repaired tendon to heal.
