Question I recently had labrum repairs and a bicep tendencies my 2nd shoulder surgery in about a year. The Shoulder part of the surgery was successful I am a little a over 4 months post op. During the first 6 weeks post-op I thought at the time I might of tore my bicep tendon wasn’t sure went to the ortho he wasn’t worried 3 weeks went by my muscle didn’t look right so me being persistent I got a 2nd opinion and the ortho got me a mri ordered and be hold no bicep tendon was attached to the tendencies sight I wanted to cry when I rid the report and was pissed at my primary ortho for neglecting to do a simple mri. The new ortho wanted me to reach out to my primary ortho but he had already pissed me off and didn’t want anything to do with him. But I saw him anyways to let me know its torn bicep tendon and I want to fix it. He flat out told me no when I requested to have it fixed so I said no? Ok thank you for your time and left. My new ortho wants me to wait a little complete physical therapy of my shoulder and in a month will circle back to my torn bicep. I told him my bicep was working perfectly fine and now it feels weird and hurts a lot at times and looks like shit he trying to convince me I can still live an active normal life with a torn long head bicep tendon I expressed to him my opinion won’t change I want It fix asap. He said he can fix but wants my shoulder to heal a little more before he considers surgery, he said 4 weeks come back and see him and will talk about surgery but I get the vibe he doesn’t want to go in their fix someone elses work but I told him I refuse to go back to my primary ortho and already told me no flat out.
I am fairly active gym 5x a week when I am healthy and my job requires to lift and load product. So leaving my bicep the way it is not ok for me. Wasn’t anything wrong with it before and a freak accident occurred not entirely sure how it tore from the surgical site but it did.
Worst case scenario if the new Orthopedic doesn’t want to proceed or debate me with what should I do to convince him to??
