2nd opinion by D.O.: Whenever you're contemplating surgery for anything, including biceps tendinitis, it's great to get a second opinion to see another perspective of your condition. An osteopathic physician would be ideal for you to consult. S/he can provide a full workup and examination of your biceps, in relation to your entire body, to bring balance back into the equation. You may not even need the surgery. So it's valuable to get the second opinion. You can always postpone your surgery until you get the second opinion.
