bicipital tendinitis

Bicipital tendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of the tendon connecting the long head of the biceps muscle to the shoulder bone. It often causes pain in the front of the shoulder, especially with activities that involve lifting or repetitive shoulder movements. This condition can result from overuse, injury, or degenerative changes, leading to swelling and discomfort. Treatment typically includes rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and sometimes injections. In persistent cases, surgery may be considered. Recognizing and managing bicipital tendinitis early can help prevent further shoulder issues and restore normal function.
