Funny Story
I was speaking to the girl at the Ortho Dr’s office setting up my appointment for Thursday (I’m assuming they will be doing an MRI) and she asked me how I injured the arm.
I told her I was in the gym last night and was doing cable flyes.
She giggled and said, “Gainz”
I laughed for like 30 seconds before I could talk and then asked, “did you just say ‘gainz?’”
She laughed and said, “yeah”.
Hey that sucks. I’m in the same boat. Looking for a good lower body/shoulder rehab program to be “committed” to. Terrible timing huh.
You two just go back through my log to about June 10th. I’ve been training with one arm for three months. You can do it.
I am committed to the @Frank_C one armed rehab protocol from now until Christmas.
Pass the egg nog
Swimming in deep water with one arm.
Damn Mac sorry to hear that.
Hope the doc’s gonna sort things out quickly.
How are you man
He ruptured his biceps tendon and had surgery yesterday morning to repair it. He sent me a text and said all went well. I wanted to be long distance training partners and all, but he didn’t have to copy my surgical procedure first!
Damn…
OK, y’all - I had a biceps tenodesis and shoulder arthroscopy on Sept 19.
I started PT yesterday and will be going 3x / week for 6-8 weeks.
Supposed to be cleared for active movement (against air/gravity only) next week.
Have an follow-up appointment today at 1:30 with the surgeon.
Didn’t have to take any pain meds, just taking 600mg Ibuprofen for inflammation 3x/day.
My PT therapist is already mad at me because while I’m wearing a sling, I’m kinda using my right arm anyway. I’m not a very good patient.
Anyway, long story short, I’m back on the rehab train to get this arm right. Good news is that they did some more arthritis cleanup along with cleaning up the original tendon insertion debris in the shoulder while they were in re-attaching the biceps tendon.
Probably back in gym next week.
@kpc012 - what injury did you sustain?
Sorry to hear about your setback but I guess it could be worse. I’m actually at the ortho right now to have my mri read. When I had my initial visit he wasnt able to tell me anything other than confirm the weakness in my right shoulder. I should know here in about 20 minutes what my fates gonna be. My biggest worry is nothing has changed at all in two weeks. I haven’t regained any strength at all overhead on that side… I’ll let you know. Thanks for asking
I just re read your post and actually that is great. You’ll be good/better than new in no time.
most likely at least a partial tear of one or more of the rotator cuff muscles/tendons
Did you injure it lifting/sport or was it something that just crept up over time (non-acute)?
I noticed it the day after doing a tough shoulder workout followed immediately by pitching a bucket of baseballs to my son. I felt nothing that night but the next day it wasnt right. Still waiting… I guess they are looking at my CD
So good news for me as well I think. Dr thinks its a pinched nerve. Rotator cuff looked intact. My cervical vertebrae are starting to become compressed and possibly pinching a nerve. 10 days of prednisone and 6 weeks of pt with neck traction. I’m just glad it isnt torn.
Yes, good news on that front.
Rest/rehab hopefully you’re back in no time.
Sorry to hear that Mac.
You’re way too committed to be like @Frank_C.
Nah couldn’t help it, bad joke.
Hope your rehab will go well. Take care and take it easy.
ha ha… yeah he’s more dedicated but less focused… when I get going, I’m a little OCD and don’t program hop much… He’s way more knowledgeable though so maybe he knows something I don’t.
I just need to do a program for aesthetics and not worry about doing heavy stuff anymore.
I might have put that in the wrong words, I meant you didn’t have to be exactly like J (like injuring yourself) to do long distance workouts with him.
Now you just rehab, before choosing what to do.
