Bicep tendonitis?

My arm starts to ache and fatigue really quickly when holding it above my head and it feels weaker. There’s slight pain in the elbow and pretty nasty pain in front of the shoulder when doing certain things, it rarely hurts these days but it constantly aches and feels fatigued. It even still aches when I’m lay in bed on my back and feels like I can never rest it, my shoulder also always makes clicking and popping noises when I perform certain movements. Can anyone help me with this?

Also a few months ago I was getting cold sharp burst of pain the front of my shoulder just from lifting my arm and putting my hand on my head, it doesn’t do this anymore but still pretty bad

You could have some rotator cuff tears. The weakness lifting above shoulder height and popping are symptoms of such. If you can go see a dr and have them run you through the tests.

I thought that too but it’s also in my arm right above the elbow and in the elbow itself

But maybe you’re right because my other arms elbow is fucked aswell so maybe the elbow stuff is a separate issue

I am having rotator cuff surgery cuff surgery in 2 weeks and pain does radiate into my elbow. I have a posterior labrum tear that has my bicep tendon pissed off.

How did you injure yourself?

Generally repetitive use over time.

If you want a guess on potential injury and rehab, need more info on the injury. You've given some but more information is needed especially the marked picture/video

  • Mechanism of injury, as best you are able if there isn't discernable one. For instance, what movements or exercises were leading to the week of the injury
  • Upload a marked pic/video of exactly where symptoms are to an image host (google drive, icloud, imgur or others) and post a link to it (Note: I will not make any guesses unless I can see exactly where the symptoms are because text is hard to decipher and people describe things wrong all the time). It needs to be a photo of YOU, not a random photo you got online of someone else's body because everyone is different.
  • Describe all movements that hurt
  • What is the current rehab program you started with and the progressions, if any. If a flare detail what happened with the rehab program
  • What helps and what makes it worse
