Bicep Tenodesis

[Bigrichwiggles]

I was recently diagnosed with bicep tenodesis and will undergo surgery on the 16th. Has anyone had this procedure performed on them as I'm wondering about the recovery? From what I thought I understood (and I'm waiting for the doctor or nurse to call me back for clarification), I thought I would be in a sling for 1 week, the bicep tendon shoud be healed between week 6 - 8, I would begin very light training between week 8 - 12, and should be able to go all out around week 12. However, I spoke with someone else who had the procedure last year and he said it took him about a year before he was able to go with 100% intensity.

Anybody else had this surgery? I would like to get someone elses input on what they went through. Just started taking GH to speed up the recovery time.

this is very similar to rotator cuff tears.

I would google some more info, not many people have had this luckily. it is something that you can come back from as long as your doc does a good job.

also taking GH may not be a good idea, you already have growth hormone in your body to help you recover especially if you are under 35 or 40 ... just be a little patient.
