I was wondering if any of you have ever had bicept tendonitis to the point where shoulder surgery or cortizone were your options.
The doc said the injury was probably caused from too much butterfly (seeing how I'm a distance flyer). The PT didn't really help all that much. I've had a history of shoulder tendonitis and impingement syndrome in the shoulder but haven't had any problems until last year. I'm down to about 450 yards of freestyle before I know I need to stop swimming.
I've been a competitive swimmer for most of my life and am looking for alternatives to going under the knife or taking the long needle. Any advice?:confused:

Reviving an old topic here!! Anyhow, as many of you know I have had problems with my LH shoulder which are improving with some exercises and some swimming. I have recently noticed a minor bump on the front of my shoulders, mostly on the RH, that I think is my biceps tendon. It grows when I raise my arm out to the side or when I flex my bicep. Two things bother me about it, it is slighlty tender and I don't remember seeing it before. I am thinking of swinging by my therapists office tomorrow and having him take a look to see if I am smoking crack or am actually on to something. Those who have had biceps tendonitis, does this minor swelling sound familiar?
