Symptoms of Bicep Tendon Tears
Biceps tendon tears cause sudden, severe pain at the shoulder or near the elbow, depending on the location of the tear. Pain is worsened by lifting or pulling. Other symptoms include bruising, swelling, and weakness. The detached muscle may form a bulge in the arm (called Popeye deformity).
