Torn Bicep Tendon

I'm surprised they gave you an injection (I am assuming it was cortizone). They tried that on me before they confirmed the tear and it just made the pain worse.
I'm not. $$$$$$$$$$$$ I had trigger finger. They wanted to inject and then after a series of questions I posed they told me they would do 1-2 injections that might provide temporary relief and ultimately I'd get surgery. SP WHY NOT CUT TO THE CHASE AND SAVE TIME GRIEF AND MONEY. Ended up working with my massage therapist who remarkably was able to fix it permanently. Her treatment on it hurt so bad it would make me sweat...but it worked. Being a doctor is an occupation like any other and in the US they treat symptoms first and the cause, if you are lucky, second. Again $$$$$$$
