If a bicep tear is left untreated, the injury can progress and severely affect your range of motion and quality of life. Untreated bicep tendon tears result in permanent discomfort, weakness, and fatigue in the injured arm. The discomfort can interfere with daily activities and disrupt your sleep.   Furthermore, engaging your arm muscles less due to these complications can lead to muscle atrophy, meaning the bicep region may shrink and become even weaker and less functional. This can also result in joint instability and increase the risk of subsequent injuries, such as shoulder dislocations.   In summary, leaving a bicep tendon tear untreated can result in a cascade of complications, affecting not only the injured arm but also causing widespread repercussions throughout the musculoskeletal system. That’s why it’s so important to seek treatment as soon as you notice signs or symptoms of a bicep tendon tear.   Biceps tendon injury treatment is available at Southern Sports Medicine Institute.
