What is biceps tendinitis?

Biceps tendinitis is a painful shoulder condition that typically causes pain at the front and side of the shoulder. It effects people of all the ages, but is common in those that lift weights in the gym and play overhead sports such as tennis. At your first appointment your clinician will carry out an ultrasound scan to assess if your tendon is torn and/or inflamed. Biceps tendinitis often responds well to a course of physiotherapy. If the pain is not improving or waking you at night, an ultrasound guided injection as an adjunct to physiotherapy is an effective treatment package, providing pain relief to allow you to return to full function as quickly as possible.

What are the symptoms of biceps tendinitis?

The symptoms of a biceps tendinitis are:

Pain at the front of the shoulder
Pain with moving your arm forwards (flexion) and overhead movements
Tenderness on the front of the shoulder

If this sounds like your pain, read on…

What other conditions can mimic biceps tendinitis?

If this does not sound like your pain there are other conditions that can mimic the pain of biceps tendinitis such as:

frozen shoulder
sub-acromial bursitis
calcific tendinopathy
shoulder impingement
rotator cuff pain.

Biceps tendinitis vs rotator cuff pain

Biceps tendinitis causes significant pain and tenderness at the front of the shoulder whereas rotator cuff pain often causes a more diffuse, widespread pain around the shoulder and travels down the side of the arm. Rotator cuff pain is often associated with more weakness.
