Have just had my ultrasound.
They said that the bicep tendon has detached from the bone and retracted approx 3 cm up my arm and the tendon sheath is empty. I am still adamant that I've ripped my brachialis tendon as well although they couldn't see that on the ultrasound as its too deep.
I raised my concerns with the scan technician and she said that they would be able to see if that was damaged when they do the surgery.
Now I've got to wait to get my appointment for surgery etc... I presume that I will be being referred to a consultant who I will meet before I have my surgery so I can rise my concerns then as well? or should I be going back and insisting on an MRI before surgery?
Cheers for any comments or info you have

It might be worth speaking to Irish Si about this. I think he did something similar a year or two ago.
Word him up on facebook.
Good luck with it.

Ouch, but glad this has been spotted and can hopefully be sorted relatively quickly.
You're in good company.

had the same injury and returned to doing one-arm pull-ups after the surgery.

Nope.
But it's a partial tear of the muscle belly. Treat as usual: RICE.
Good luck.
I also seem to have done this, rather than, as I first feared separating my tendon. Obviously I can figure out the rest and ice part, was wondering about the compression and elevation, put a tubigrip on it, walk everywhere with my arm in the air?
Thanks
