May have torn bicep off anchor after recent surger

I had should cuff repair on labrum and to fix slap tear the surgeon achorded the bicep to bone.  Surgeru recovery went fine and had much use of are to usual things.  After 15 days and doing some light lifting with not pain, I needed ice melt 40lbs and thought I could manage to mostly use other arm to put in cart and in car.  wrong, massive pain is bicep and general area.  Not better with meds and ice.  I am in more pain than the first day.  It was only once but I very nervous that I detached the bicep from anchor.  I don't know how easy this happpens and I know 15 day was not even close to enought time.  Sugeon always doing surger or teaching.  I reached out to colleague who said if it did tear, probably won't fix because tendons used are probably not in shape to attach again and I'm left with detached bicep which I already have in other arm.  It was going so well.  I'm so disguested with self because I could have easily asked for help at store.  I'm not sure what happend, but I can't deal with undoing this great fix I had.  MrI ordered but said scar tissue covers up most info.  Any help would be great.
