Anyone have elbow bone spur surgery?

[Darb77]

In two weeks I'm having elbow surgery to remove a painful bone spur from my elbow. Its right where the tricep attaches so my surgeon will have to remove a tiny bit of the tendon and reattach it when he removes the spur. I have been dealing with this for years and finally decided to get it taken care of. My workouts have been struggling lately bad with pressing movements because of the pain.

If anybody had similar procedures done I was wondering how the recovery was and when you got back to 100% and when you started lifting again after the surgery?

I'm so hoping this fixes my problem and I can press in the future pain free and not be limited on certain exercises! I'm kinda excited about getting it done and hoping my bad arm will be like my good arm in the future. I feel this really holds back my progress.

Good luck and speedy recovery

I had one. The spur actually pierced the tricep tendon. It hurt me for about a year before it got so bad I couldn't train that tricep. For some reason, I could do kickbacks but nothing else. Pressing it didn't bother me much. Was training in 6 weeks. Pretty much up to speed in 4 months. I still have a bit less strength on tricep moves using a hammer type grip. Overhand/underhand no problem

Cool man thanks for the info! I believe that's whats going on with my spur as its piercing the tricep tendon. Pressing kills it and certain tricep exercises. I'm good pressing at a certain weight but when I try and go heavy it is pretty painful. Hoping this surgery fixes me up!
