Hi all - I tore my bicep tendon and just out of surgery few days ago
posting fr home, on painkillers and in incredible pain. See you all later.
Still at home for a while.
Maybe say a prayer or put me in your wishes.

take care,

steady

that really sux frostman, howd you do it? Battling mutants no doubt. Don't worry, I'm sure cybernetic limbs will be a reality in the next 20 years. Get well soon man!

Ouch man sorry to hear,funny you mention that one of the new guys who started with me on the same day caught his leg in the stairs going down and fell and tore tendons in that area also

frosty

Lifting with arm extemded out 90% palm up - then pop goes the tendon - so try to always pull or push things with palm down.

Mark Dygert

Ouch, that has to hurt really freakin badly. I hope you feel/get better soon...

I hope you get well soon frosty. It sounds like a really nasty injury. Did it happen to your left or right bicep?

frosty

Soccerman18

wow, and you fell in that 2%, aren't you lucky. How long til it heals? Are there going to be any lasting effects?

NuclearTes

I'm glad to hear you belong to the 2% that injured the non dominant hand. It would be so much worse if it was the other one.

ElysiumGX

hurts me just reading that. recover quickly dude. so, you've got time off to work on some more skins eh?

frosty

Thx NT very lucky.

Hey SM18! - Looks good I hve no fever lil bruises and 2 month sling.

current one is at L shape with torso 24/7

then in Oct will be set lower n lower start 3 to 4 months therapy. If I was in sports full return six mo plus. Office grunt I am shooting for Jan 1. I have insurance & if I go whole hog recocery can be 100 plus, long as I go for therapy all the way.Missus is less happy about extended therapy but I am doing it anyway, no matter what.
no nerve damage is apparent cos I can move my fingers about 2 inches now & numbness is gone. But Orthopedict Surgeon tells me to never lift anything over 60 lbs rest of my life. Taking lots of joint tendon building spplements. sorry hard to type w one hand.

Ninjas

Ouch... I hope the recovery goes well. Good luck!

Snowfly

Well, hoping for the best possible recovery anyway.

Dukester

Damn that has got to hurt. It hurts me to think about it anway.

Get well soon. Rehab it, and take lots of glucosamine.

frosty

Snowfly - thx your avatar = lmao

Yo Dukester how is your killer rig running? thx - will stay out of fights, hehe.

Irritant - yo glucosamine, sam-e, lots of calcium & zinc for top speed strength healing.

frosty

To all you fellow joint pain sufferers consider my accelerated approach:

2000 mg glucosomine/chrondroitin
Sam - e
Calcium
2 glasses skim milk a day
Collagen/Jello
Triple High grad protein drinks
Zinc & C
