I’ve found myself in a crappy situation. I was training chest yesterday, and everything was going fine until my last set of flat bench press, where I sustained a tear in my right pec. This was even after warming up, ensuring adequate hydration, etc. I also tore my left pec about a year and a half ago as well doing the same movement. The amazing thing is the tear is in the exact same location, and when I feel it seems to be the same amount of damage. They’re both minor tears, but I definitely do not want any imbalances/loss of strength from having two torn pecs.
I’m considering surgery to repair both injuries. My question is would surgery be worth it for this, and would this likely be an outpatient procedure since they’re minor injuries? I could see a potential problem with insurance not wanting to cover this. Thanks for any input.
