BICEPS TEAR-Will test help reduce pain.

[solidspine]

Two years ago I tore my lateral biceps tendon and have a Popeye muscle in my left arm. My strength has declined by about 10 percent on that side. I believe this in not an uncommon problem. Recently the pain and numbness has returned with a vengence!

I saw a surgeon this morning and he recommended that I not do upper body weights or training for about 4-6 weeks. I intend to give it a rest for about a week and then test the muscles slowly and work back into my routine.

My question is: Do any AS products treat the symptoms of tendentious?

Deca has helped me with pain inside joints, but not in the muscle or tendon itself.

I thought I read on the board that TEST does help alleviate pain in muscle and that would then transfer to tendon pain.

I have never even tried to find GH, and wouldn't know where to look, is it available in Mexico?

If I were you, I would go with doc's suggestion. You may look around for some other things that can help your healing,like physiqual therapy, accupanture, massage,etc, but be careful with lifting, and, especially with steroids.

The best advice is to do what your doctor says. Test increases one's pain threshold, so by using it and continuing to lift you may unknowingly aggravate the injury, m'kay.

Thanks, I need to do more cardio for a few weeks anyway.

Looks like cardio, swimming and the whirlpool, until I buy some more gear.
