A member asked:
I had small partially ruptured biceps tendon, mri after a year: subakromio-subdeltoidni burzitis. can i carry around 5-10kg backpack with this injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Carrying a backpack on your shoulder should not cause a problem with the biceps tendon, although the act of bringing it up onto your shoulder might. I would not hesitate to discuss the specifics of your case with your orthopedist.
