    Hi,

    The biceps muscle attaches to bone via tendons; two at the shoulder and one in the elbow. At the shoulder, one of the attachments is known as the “long head,” a thin tendinous structure that runs in a groove at the front of the shoulder before entering the shoulder joint. The groove is bordered on three sides by bone (the “bicipital ridge”), with a “roof” covered by the transverse humeral ligament.

    Occasionally, the soft tissue restraints that maintain the position of the long head of the biceps tendon within the groove can be injured, allowing the tendon to sublux , or partially dislocate in and out of its groove. This occurrence is often associated with a partial or complete tear of the subscapularis tendon, the rotator cuff tendon in the front of the shoulder.

    So, I highly recommend that you seek out an ortho.

    kind regards

    I had to brace my arm against the cabinet to do my hair. I had shoulder and rotater cup surgery. I got through it and made a complete recovery. That was April of 2011 and I was 66 at the time. For the people who have this surgery, my doctor had me take my sling off second day and because of a pain medicine that was all wrong for me. I was unable to sit down or sleep. I was cleaning drawers and windows. Ten days after surgery I could get my arm almost straight. The hardest thing is putting on shirts and by accident I found out if I leaned over hanging my arm down, I could very easily put just about any top (turtle necks) Good luck!
