What Causes Pain In Shoulders And Biceps?

I have been experiencing pain in both of my shoulders and both biceps. Enough pain to make lifting anything heavy very difficult. I had a sudden nosebleed from my left nostril earlier tonight, and am now trying to stop a nosebleed from my right nostril. I have been very tired lately and feeling very off tonight. Should I be concerned?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

You are suffering from pain in the shoulders and biceps. Due to pain lifting objects is difficult for you. Your symptoms can be indicative of bicep tendon problem that is triggering pain in the shoulders. You are suggested to visit a GP/Orthopedics and get all required tests and investigations done to detect biceps tendon subluxation/dislocation, slap tears, bicep tendon tears and bicep tendonitis, etc.

Your treatment will depend on the pathology diagnosed. The treatment is done by giving rest to the affected limbs for a couple of days. Compression with ice and anti-inflammatory medications are helpful to relieve the symptoms. If required the treating doctor will recommend Physical therapy, and shoulder exercises.

If required an injection of cortisone around the tendon may be considered. Surgical treatments of the biceps tendon may be considered if there is no response to the non- surgical treatment being given. Biceps tendon problems get generally treated with a biceps tenotomy and a biceps tenodesis. Get treated at the earliest.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
