Hi everyone,
According to an MRI I tore my proximal biceps tendon. I saw one Doctor and he said they don’t do surgery on that type of injury. I’m scheduled to see a 2nd Doctor at a better surgery center on Tuesday. I wanted to find out if anyone else had any experience with this? My MRI results are listed below. Thanks for any help and guidance that you may offer.
