Extreme pin in left bicep for months

[natural]

Adbout 6 months go I noticed pain in left bicep when raising arm high or reaching back to put on a shirt. Now it gotten worse and I wake up  lot with the pain, I cannot seelp at all on the left side as the pressue make it hurt. if I reach down like in to the car floor or such the pain is like 9 or 10 for about 30 seconds and then get better. It si a little sore to touch and the main pain is middle of bicep into the elbow. I saw ortho doc, he xrayed saw nothing and said maybe tear and will heal but that was back in June and still have the pain. He gave me 7 days of oredisone which seem to help then but it ll came back and got worse. Is this tear and most seem to at top of bicep and i have no pain there or very little. I can hardly use that arm and it has lost muscle too. I am male 57, 166 lbs and fit otherwise.

Hello!

Consult with an orthopedician and get yourself examined.
Go for an MRI to get to know about the amount of damage in biceps or any other rotator cuff tendons in your shoulder.
Do not lift weights and apply ice packs regularly to decrease the inflammation. Take intermittent pain killers.
Go for physiotherapy based on the damage.

Take care!
