I have reasonably good health at my advanced age though I do feel some problems yet I do have daily walks for about 30 mins a day. I have been having both shoulders pain for the last about 2 years which though continued yet remained fairly manageable with Fastum Gel and occasional fomentation.  3 months back, my rt shoulder created a crackling sound resulting increase in pain which got reduced with passage of time. Recently I got US done done which revealed bicep Tendon rupture in the Rt shoulder which comes down close to elbow. I went to the Surgeon and also a competent concerned Rehabilitation Specialist. Surgeon and I agreed not for any surgery etc. The other Specialist felt that it is a partial rupture of a Tendon coming down from shoulder to elbow. Due to rupture being partial, my arm is still working almost OK. He advised not to lift any thing even small with rt arm besides using Fastum Gel/ pain killer when needed.

Can I have the views of others who had some what similar experience and what precautions/ medications etc were/are being taken by them and their results?  Operation is totally out for me due to age limitations. Can one expect betterment of my situation?If so, how? Anyway my arm is still working well though I remain careful.
