Re: right arm upper bicep bilateral tendon tear

: I had an shoulder operation in the month of october for a mild rotor cuff tear , after surgery I still had pain in the bicep and shoulder,on or about the 17th of january, I Had a 2nd shot of cortisone in back of shoulder to help with the increasing pain that was occuring in the back part of my shoulder, a couple days later I threw some crackers to feed the birds and I felt a snap in my arm , this is when I tore tendon away from inner shoulder, I am having muscle spasms in the back of my shoulder that are driving me crazy,although I have noticed less pain in the bicep area . I was told from two local doctors that I should not get the operation to repair torn tendon, I was told that the pain that I am having are not related to the torn tendon. I would like to know your opinion and any suggestions, thank you harry
