I've been experiencing this really sharp, stabbing pain in my right biceps every time I try to move my arm outwards or upwards. It's pretty new and the pain sort of shoots towards my neck. Any idea what could be causing this, or what I should do about it? It's starting to worry me.

The sharp stabbing pain in your right biceps, exacerbated by outward or upward arm movements and radiating to your neck, may indicate a potential issue with your rotator cuff, biceps tendon, or neck (cervical spine); possible causes include bicipital tendinitis, shoulder impingement, or cervical radiculopathy; consult an orthopedic specialist

my fingers are bending on their own but there's no pain. I'm thinking about getting surgery for this but I'm not sure if it's safe or if there are any risks involved. what should I know before going ahead with it

If your fingers are bending on their own without pain, it could be due to Dupuytren's contracture or trigger finger. Before considering surgery, discuss your concerns with a doctor or specialist to determine the best course of treatment, as non-surgical options are often tried first.
