My rehabilitation of a ruptured bicep, distal

**rmkicks** · 09-02-2014, 11:04 AM

On Wednesday August 27, 2014, I ruptured my bicep during a workout. This thread will be a log of my recovery. I hope it will aid in my recovery while providing useful information for the brotherhood!!

First visit to the Orthopedic Dr. on Thursday 8/27 validated the injury however, due to insurance guidelines, an MRI could not be completed for a couple of days. (BULLSHIT!!) So, I have to go back to the Dr. in a few days for the MRI.

I decided to go out of town for the weekend to relax, reflect on how this injury occurred and devise a plan for 100% recovery. This was a great idea because I'm no longer angry about the injury but excited about my recovery.

Hope you guys decide to follow along!

Here are some pics of both of my biceps this morning. The injury is to the left bicep. Not sure if you can see the bruising of the forearm.

Yeah bro that sucks! Maybe you will have only a partial tear and rehab wont be that long... My whole arm turned purple when I tore by Triceps... Hoping for the best for you... Rehab will not be fun, but your a tough brother so all will be fine in the end!

Welcome to the world of Recovery,lol. Geet well soon and take it easy for now

Shit, kicks. Looks tender.

I highly reccomend some arnica gel to give you some relief. It is a topical solution with no smell or menthol sensation. It relieves bruising.

Epsom salt in the bath, too. Calm you down and and put you in a less tense place like you had hit a switch.
