Thread: Shoulder and Bi injury

I recently had a Bicep rupture and your pain sounds similar to mines prior to later bicep surgery I tore mines right at the elboe though and according to Dr its rare to tear it there. Xrays showed everything was fine MRI showed I was seriously fucked lol, tell them you want an MRI. I tried also doing my own PT and made it worse and I did minor PT lol. I would request an MRI of shoulder and elbow because the bicep crosses over inbetween the two joining at the elbow and again at the shoulder. Keep is posted especially if its torn I can give you tons of help and tips lol. Oh also just tore PTT tendon in foot and broke Navicular bone so if you need help there Im well rehearsed as well lol.

My ortho said for my size (300lbs), anything less than 550mg 3x per day is pissing in the wind when it comes to naproxen. It has a longer half life and you could do 2x per day but he sees better results 3x. With my insurance it is cheaper to get generic OTC gelcaps than fill my script. 3 gelcaps @ 220mg each =660mg. I take that 2x per day when training heavy due to chronic inflamation issues and 3x per day if something "tweaks".
- Dosage all depends on body mass. If yo are around the 200-250lb range or lower I would not go over 440mg 2-3 times per day.

So after all this time got the MRI read the other day. No tear thankfully but a "pretty beat up labrum" is what the dr said.. And a partial lower bicep tear

Was told stay off direct bicep work for a few weeks/ no overhead unless light

Would you guys think the dr would prescribe gh if I was to ask him for my shoulder or f no? Cause I can't go on with this Injury it's gone too long

Started today on an 18-30 rep range, going to do this for 3 weeks then kick back to 10-12 then another 2-3 weeks then back to 6-9

Pray for me bros
