A member asked:
I had rotator cuff surgery 7 weeks ago. should be feeling this sharp pain in outer bicep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be normal: It is normal to still have some sharp pains 7 weeks after rotator cuff surgery. Pain in the outer biceps is likely referred pain from the shoulder that is radiating to the biceps. I let patients know that this should subside to a dull ache by 3 months after the surgery.
