Dear Pau Yee Chin,

We extend our sincere gratitude for choosing Gleneagles Hospital Malaysia for your healthcare requirements.

Recovery time for bicep tendonitis can vary widely depending on factors like the severity of the injury and how well you respond to treatment. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to fully heal.

Regarding imaging, an MRI can provide detailed information about soft tissue injuries, including tendonitis, but it's not always necessary. An X-ray might not show soft tissue issues but can rule out any bone problems or fractures.

Since you've been experiencing pain for several months now, we recommend consulting with our orthopedic surgeon to determine the most appropriate imaging test required and treatment plan tailored to your needs.
