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
