MRI on torn bicep

[blade35]

First , thanks for all the concern and support guys.The MRI on my arm showed that my bicep is not torn it is the Brachialis Muscle that tore.It torn in half so it cannot be repaired.The good news is that it will not affect the shape of my arm as much as a bicep tear would.After the swelling has went down the dent I spoke about is not nearly as noticable(probably to me only my wife says).Ortho says I will be able to train biceps light in a few weeks.For now I am training the other side of my body and legs.Looks like it may not be that bad after all.If anyone has had this kind of injury please let me know how the recovery went.

I actually just posted a questions regarding a torn bicep. My brothers bicep tendon tore away from the bone down in his elbow area and his bicep is very small now. Glad to hear that you didnt have that type of injury.

I did the same thing 10 years ago. Have a dent on the inside upper
forarm near the elbow. Carrying house foundation forms. nothing
can be done.

If it is torn in half that is a complete tear. It wil like sewing ground beef back together but it can be done and should be done before any further atrophy(it is going to shorten). Talk to another ortho but get this fixed this week. It can not wait. I also had both ACLs reparied as well as a tricep and was to late on a pec so I have had lots of surgeries and talked to a lot of orthos. You want to get surgery you should have already had it done. Your ortho is an idiot you are running out of time. You may have a week at the most before it is to late.
