What is Bicep Tendonitis?
bicep tendonitis
Bicep tendonitis / tendinitis / tendinopathy / tendinosis / tenosynovitis are all common terms that describes pain or injury to one of your shoulder's bicep tendons.
Biceps tendinopathy is the umbrella term for biceps injuries that include:
biceps tendonitis/tendinitis (inflammed tendon).
biceps tendinosis (non-inflammed degenerative tendon).
biceps tenosynovitis (inflammed tendon sheath).
ruptured biceps tendon (secondary to degeneration or tear).
Having said that, old habits die hard, and the conditions have for many years been commonly referred to as biceps tendonitis or tendinitis. Your up-to-date physiotherapist or sports doctor will refer to this group of injuries as biceps tendinopathies or the specific injury itself after they have diagnosed the injury thoroughly.
