Call surgeon!: Please call your orthopedist, or talk to the doc on call for the practice. That doc knows what procedure was done and what possibly could be causing the pain now. If you have fever, severe pain that is new, new numbness, tingling or weakness, and you cannot reach the doc, go to the ER for evaluation.

Biceps pain: Pain which persists in any area can be cause for concern . Thus if u r 4-6 weeks postop. U should be checked by your surgeon for infection ,status of the repair, or nerve injury
