Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Potentially: You might want to check for other causes as well, but the biceps originates from two tendons in the shoulder area and then inserts through a tendon in the proximal forearm/elbow. A biceps tendon tear can definitely cause pain along the upper and inner arm. Again there are other causes as well.
