Had you had a MRI prior to having the pain n your bicep? I had a MRI on my neck 3 weeks post op because I was in so much pain but my dr said it looked fine. I have a "patch" on the left side of my neck, not on the side where the incision is, that is swollen. It doesn't hurt to touch, but if you push on it, it moves like fluid or an air pocket. I showed it to my dr but he didn't really say much. If you had an MRI after surgery, before you got pain in your biceps, was the problem not detected? I was having more pain n my shoulder, now it's my bicep, and goes to my elbow and wrist, all on left side....but my right wrist has started hurting too. Thank you for replying!
