mogandave Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
