A member asked:

My boyfriend lifted a heavy object and heard and felt a snap which looks like he has torn his right bicep tendon or possibly muscle. he is in a lot of pain. is this something his delta core plan covers? what should he do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Orthopedic surgeon: Have him consult an orthopedic surgeon to validate the diagnosis. If it's a ruptured biceps tendon he will be advised about the pro's and con's of surgical repair. If no surgery recommended use of a sling, cold applications, anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen or naproxen may be prescribed and symptoms gradually improve after a couple of weeks. Physical therapy and advice about straining
