Hi,

I'm 53 years old and pulled a muscle or tendon or something on the front of my right bicep about a year ago and need to have it looked at. It seemed to be getting better several times, but I am convinced now I need to have it looked at.

I would like the name of a real good doctor to look at it. I am really concerned about the cost as I have excellent insurance that will cover just about anything, just about anywhere.

Thanks,

Dave

(I'm assuming you meant to say not worried about cost..)

Wow, thank's Sheryl! I'll let you know how it goes.

I like the doc, and it looks like torn rotator cuff, go back for the MRI Saturday to confirm.

HE told me four months in a sling after surgery, yikes!

Thanks for letting us know, and glad to here you are happy with him. Haven't found anyone yet who wasn't.
