Separated Bicep...

[simply dave]

This really sucks...

Yesterday I was lifting a full size television and I must have twisted wrong when I heard/felt a "POP" in my left arm. I set the TV down and noticed my bicep "shortened" and deformed. I was certain I had torn the bicep from the elbow/tendon. Went to see the doc and he confirmed. I'll be seeing an orthopedic surgeon tomorrow about my options.

Talk about depressing...fuck.

Fuck, sorry to hear that dude.

By full size tv, you mean a 19 incher right

36" tube style tv. I've moved it before but I must've just twisted wrong when the injury occurred. This is really going to fuck up a lot of plans not to mention that I can't lift for God knows how long. I've been fighting w/ a slight bit of depression and this doesn't help matters in the least. I hope I can get this repaired so I can lift again soon.

You will get it repaired and you will lift again. No doubt about it. I think Traz went through something similar (not sure if it was a bicep or pec) and he's like the Arm Wrestling champion of the world.

Get it taken care of and you will be back at it in no time bro...minor setback, as much as it sucks!

Thanks for the support folks, it really helps. I'm trying to remain "upbeat" and hopeful about this and I'm hoping the surgeon doesn't say something like "You can live a normal life without the repair" as I witnessed a friend experience a few years back. I explained to the doc yesterday that exercise/fitness is a large part of my life and I need to have this repaired. He told me to explain that to the surgeon when I see him tomorrow. **crosses fingers**

I think SB had it too, I tecall a bruised up bicep, you should recover fine but have to be patient, push urself too hard and you'll go back to square one, explore lower body workouts and cardio too

this.

IF you don't like what the ortho has to say, go see a different doc.
