Whats Up! Post Surgery Update

[flexdaddyz71]

Five weeks since my surgery. I ended up with a trashed rotator cuff, torn labrum, shortened clavicle 8mm + tennis elbow repaired. I've got a second post-op appt. tomorrow. Not sure when I'll be able to work upper body, but I started back working legs last week (light) Anyone have any idea on full recovery time??? I don't want to push it, but DAMN! I gotta get back into the groove.... Also, wanted to know which enathate is better... Aburaihan, Iran or Testoviron Depot (Schering)I've been using a well known ug, but wanted to try one of these two in hopes of better results. I'm hoping to get back on the program by the first of the year. Just wanted to get all my supps in line. Thanks guys.

good luck with a fast recovery! cant help ya on anything else other then support though!lol

Thanks! Hopefully the doctor will release me soon.

how did you get those injuries?

Good luck with the recovery! Train light for a while. I would be scared after surgery to be lifting even moderate.

 

[flexdaddyz71]

Yeah! You're right! I'm a little scared to light anything right now. I'll probably start off with those sissy resistant bands, then work my way up. I got those injuries over two years time, I just worked through the pain and took a lot of advil before and after each workout. The deca probably masked alot of the injuries. All is well, and my doc swears I'll be a 100% in six months. We'll see! I gotta get... my appt is in an hour. I'll post later. Please someone answer my question about the enanthate??? Thanks

I really liked testoviron, never done the other.

Okay! My doctor said that I could start light upper body movements next week (6wks post op) Too my surprise, said that light bench with an extra wide grip would be okay. Said that light front and side laterals would be good with a lot of rotator cuff exercises prior.

good to hear!
I had the iranian test for my first and it was great! schering tests high also for mgs/ amp I think.

I completely tore and shredded my labrum in April. Also tore the ligaments off the bone and had a bicep tendon injury.
I lucked out by having one of the best shoulder surgeons in the country repair my labrum. He worked for the Cardinals, Blues, and Rams.
That was the good news. The bad news is he said it was the most significant tear he had seen.
I will be rehabbing until next summer most likely. My insurance will not cover it all either.
He told me not to get my hopes up about working out like I used to do it.
All I know is either way I will be getting back in the gym and I will be better than ever.
I am rediculously out of shape now. Last I checked I am well over 250 (Im 6'3"). No abs anymore. Shit I had 8 at 265 two years ago. Nothing like not working out for almost a year (I was in a car accident prior to the shoulder injury) and only eating 3 times a day.
The funny thing is I used to think I was fat all the time. Now I would kill to look like that again.
Best of luck with you shoulder and arm. Life is what we make of it. Make it the best!

Slatisimus Dorci what's up? Sorry to hear about your injury. I was just laZy and didn't work out for like 2 years! lol. Heal up fast!

Thats hard to read slat. I feel the same way. I've gained a little over 20 pounds in 12 weeks and feel like a total fat ass. I'm sure I've dropped several quality pounds of muscle as a result of the time off and surgery. I posted some before and after pics earlier in the summer. I had went from 31%BF to 11%. I had abs showing and still felt below par. I will get it back and go beyond to a higher level. I'm one of those guys that gets tunnel vision with my diet and workouts once I get on the program. Because of these injuries I would hold back on chest and shoulders. My chest didn't suffer much, but my shoulders did and were my best body part at one time. My doctor said that I should be able to get them back now. My insurance covered 80% of the surgery and I've had to fork out $1800 so far. Hopefully, I can start a good cycle beginning in late December, early January. Maybe, some of the sponsors here would like to use me as a poster child for their fat burning supplements since I'm so focused and yield excellent results. I'm glad to be back on the board. I missed you guys. BTW, my employer has me off on full paid medical leave and with my vacation time I should be off till the end of the year.
