Injury advice

Got my MRI back on my spine and tricep. Good news is spine and nerves are fine in neck/back area. Bad news is tricep medial head is damaged. Neuro wants me off training it for 3 weeks and follow up visit. Problem I have is I felt no pain or damage in tricep. How is that possibe unless there is nerve damage? Would you recommend training around it or taking the time off? Any medical recomendations?

So yo have damage to the soft tissue? Rest ice compression first 72 hours then heat with ice following. As as ice follow any use of it after exercise on that body part. May require deep tissue message or ultrasound.

Take it easy on it for 2-3 weeks. Good luck

The radiologist who read your MRI obviously found a signification enough damage that would be damaged further if you continued to train...Take your MD advise regardless of what you may think you should do.

if u didnt feel any pain, why did u have an MRI on ur tricep? Any other symptoms? Loss of stength etc etc

Lost 50% of my strength over night. No pain or discomfort just the strength. That is why I'm still concerned it has to be a nerve. How else could I have muscle damage and not feel anything in that medial head of the tricep. I see hi againn in about 2 weeks. I will follow his advice and rest the muscle and then take the next step.
