I m wondering is the arm at a point that it isn't going to go beyond the stretching and rom ive been doing everyday. Could the new placement of the bicep tendon drastically reduced my normal positioning. Or is it possible that the bicep tendon has been shortened to much and then anchored down.
I just want to be able to move my arm and place at my side like doing a shoulder press.
Dont wanna seem like im crying. Im not. I had. Labrum/rotator surgery on the left arm in 2002. It didnt include the bicep tenodesis.
It was a slow process, sore, stiff. And had to get my r.o.m back. But at no point was i unable to wipe my ass or rotate my forearm upward to 90 degrees to be in a shoulder press position.
I will be honest im only about 45/50 degrees.
Compared to 90 where we need to be.
Frustrating is an understatement.

most of the guys i have known that have had various tendon surgery normally dont get 100% full range of motion back. i do know a couple that have but not to many. one really good friend of mine had his distal and the same tendon that you did done and he is like brand new. doc was blown away because he is older and only needed a few weeks of rehab before he was good to go

All i can do is ride it out and see what happens.
Just got back from the gym. Its pouring.. Lol
What a coincidence.
Again im very limited on exercises. I cant do legs everyday..haha.
So i hit the arch trainer for 15 minutes.
Moved over to the elliptical for 10 minutes. Was feeling kinda klunky. So i stopped and did some Seated crunches. Then used the pec deck for some stretching the right shoulder/chest. Was very careful. Performed this with my arm out in front/side at a 90% angle instead of arms straight out. This is what i was told to do by the therapist so im listening...
I did use the pulldown for some stretching. No weight just trying to get that arm into the press position and up fully extended. I also used my left hand to pull my left elbow slightly forward while in the press position.
It is so tight in the shoulder, feels like the beginning of therapy how sore i was every time she would stretch me ..
I sat at the preacher curl using my left hand to make sure i didnt hurt myself while Doing a single arm curl. Only 10lbs full extention. Constant tension on the bicep.
Then i went back in and did 20 more minutes on the arch trainer.
Followed by the seated hand bike. 5min forward and 5 min backward rotation.
Doesnt seem like much..
Now im gonna through my ab workout at the house before bed.
Update when done.
