injury update

[daved150]

popped my tricep tendon around sept 1st. had surgery oct 12th. i didnt realize how long that it takes to come back from this type of injury. i havnt done any lifting since (so i look like shyt!!) and i've only had the range of motion to touch my nose for about 2weeks!! the brace came off yesturday, but its still pretty tender. i dont recomend that anyone fuks up their tricep tendon...its a ***** to come back from!!

Take it slow dave. I bet it will be a year before it is as good as it will be. Will you have any pt?

Re: injury update

aaauprbdy: i dont know...i dont really have the money right now to find out. i think if it was a muscle tear or just a tendem tear it would, but my tendon need to reattach to the bone. its screwed to the bone, but you still want it too attach.

6p6: i originally did a small tear in 2006, doing skull crushers, but i didnt know that i tore it. it popped doing 80lb incline presses during warm ups...the week before i ramped up to 105 (pyramid sets, 60sec rest between) on 80's it popped on 8th rep....

ya I hear ya just thinking out loud. Maybe you could convince the doc's to give you a script for it, if they even do that...I guess if anything would increase the healing ability it would be hgh.

Re: injury update

Just let it heal on it's own. It really hasn't been that long yet. The body can repair itself so don't start rushing it. You rush, you will have a set back. Don't overdo it on anti-inflammatories if you are taking them.
