Biceps Tendon Irritation
Biceps tendon irritation is also commonly referred to as bicep tendonitis, which is a general term used to describe injuries that occur to the biceps tendon, with most injuries happening as a result of overuse.
What is bicep tendonitis? This is when there is tissue damage to the biceps tendon, which then results in pain in the front of the elbow, and this pain can make it difficult for people to move their arm as they usually would. You may be wondering how this damage has happened; when the biceps are contracted, there is tension placed through the biceps tendon, and so when this tension is of a high force or excessive/repetitive, then damage can occur. It is important to get this seen to as quickly as possible, as you don’t want to run the risk of the problem getting worse, as it can lead to degeneration of the biceps tendon.
