Torn Bicep Tendon

Bob, When I tore mine in my right arm it sounded like someone had folded a piece of paper up and stapled it and I could feel it popping one fold at a time. Luckily I only tore one of the tendon heads loose. I went to the specialist the same day it happened and they would have done surgery right then except when I went home I went ahead and ate some lunch. So they fixed it the next day. I had therapy several times a week and had to wear a brace on it all the time. It has healed very well and except for a couple of scars you would never know I had surgery.
