MRI again... fun

[slat1]

Looks like I have MRI number three this saturday.
I sat down with the DR and got a better understanding of what is going on. Looks like I have adema (think that was the word) in my bicep and my bicep tendon. I also have a partial tear in my bicep tendon. I have been working out for a year like this... not knowing that this was the situation. From what I have been told I am lucky it didn't completely tear and roll up into my shoulder.
So Saturday I will find out if things have healed or gotten worse. I am in pain every day so I am fairly certain that its worse. This sucks.
At least it has taken my mind of losing all my karma gambling on the Sox.. LOL

Sorry to hear about that man. I hope things aren't that bad and you can get back to the weights soon. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Your doctor is right, if you had torn it, it would have rolled up in to your shoulder like yo-yo....

The correct term is "edema", that's just swelling from water retention in the area.

I think you are headed for surgery to repair the tendon and a length rehabilitation process.

Keep us updated, holmes.

Take care.
