Resolved question:
Hi, my right arm biceps musle is swollen since 8 months. It happened after I lifted a heavy object and there was a sprain after that. Although I thought it would subside soon , the swollen area is still there. It pains a lot at night from shoulder till fingers and the musle now seems to be loose. It moves up and down and is unstable, looks as if dislocated downwards. I tried occasional massage and hot comression by warmingup water. It is painful and worsens if I lift few objects even though not much heavy. initially the pain was only while I was lifting objects but now it has become worse, as my should area and full arms also pains. I am 63 years old patientold and seeking a doctor's advice, as to what could be the best way to get it normal.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I have read your query with diligence.
After reading your complaints and looking at picture it looks that there is rupture of long head of biceps muscle.If it is not painful then it is treated conservatively but as it is painful and taking joy of your life so you may ask for surgery.Yoo should have a MRI of your arm.This will confirm your diagnosis.In this case a orthopedic surgeon should be consulted for treatment.
Feel free to discuss further,
Hope this will help you.
Regards.
