Biceps Tendinopathy

---

Biceps tendinopathy refers to a condition involving the inflammation, degeneration, or damage to the tendons that connect the biceps muscle to the shoulder or elbow. It can manifest as either proximal (near the shoulder) or distal (near the elbow) biceps tendinopathy. Proximal biceps tendinopathy typically occurs due to overuse, repetitive strain, or degenerative changes, leading to pain and discomfort in the front of the shoulder. Distal biceps tendinopathy often arises from repetitive lifting or forceful activities, causing pain and weakness in the front of the elbow. Symptoms may include localized pain, tenderness, swelling, weakness, and limited range of motion.
