Had pain in my left lower bicep. Went and got a mri. Came back high strian/partial tear. No repture. Doc said doesnt need surgrey. I was wondering if anyone would know if it would ever be the same? Will it look the same and get back up to strength? plz let me know

There's no way we can give you that answer. I have a friend that had a complete bicep tear and the muscle literally went up like a window blind. He's as strong now as he was then but it was a long time healing.

Yeah it didnt curl up, but there was a slight stiffness when i would use that arm. No swelling or anything like that ever accured. did ur friend have it repaired?

Yep - he had major reconstructive surgery but he's fine now.
