A buddy had a similar prob with his shoulder. Not as bad but bad enough to have surgery. they actually removed a damaged tendon all together and he is having to learn to use his arm again.

this dudes legs went from decent sized to MASSIVE in 7 months. His calves look like he is smuggling a softball in the top of his sock.

Look at it as positively as you can. What normally lags on non-competitive BBs? Legs.

I hope your surgery goes well and you recover quickly brother.
