Para5-0 0 #1 January 6, 2011 On Sunday I snapped my bicep tendon. It was a nice loud snap that I heard and felt. Now surgery today. I am told 3 months and I will be around 75%, but 6-9 months to be fully recovered. I am worried about tearing it again due to weakness. Anyone out there experience this injury. The timing works out that I should be good to by mid to late March. Any recommendations or thoughts. Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,089 #2 January 6, 2011 I'm sure you already did a search, but here is a recent thread asking basically the same thing... I was on the jump with one of the responders to that thread when he tore his Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #3 January 6, 2011 My brother tore his while he was moving furniture around. He did have some recovery time, but he seems to be ok. Sucks getting old, huh?

Zep 0 #5 January 6, 2011 I tore the tendon in my ankle just over a year ago after the initial healing I went to pysio for three months now my ankle is stronger than ever before. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #6 January 7, 2011 Which biceps tendon did you tear? Is the muscle sitting high or low?-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Para5-0 0 #7 January 7, 2011 back from surgery now. I tore the lower one so the bicep was high. now they did a nerve block so my arm and hand feel like chubbs from happy gilmore. (carl weathers) no feeling at all. thanks for input, this really sucks. I hate pain pills to boot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #8 January 7, 2011 It'll be better after this. I've had that same nerve block. Be grateful for you anesthesiologist! That'll give you some relief through the worst of it. Relax. Let yourself heal. This will get better! linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

Para5-0 0 #12 January 7, 2011 Thanks for the kind words all. I was just airing out my thoughts so sorry about that, As far as the nerve block it is officially wearing off and all I can say is arghhhh. Pins and needles. But I shouldnt worry I have my own personal nurse Ratchett, my wife, who has zero patience or compassion for the injury or pain. The old I deserve it because I was skiing and having fun when I did it additude. cant win at this stage of the game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
