Pec Injury

[Derek]

August 2002 I injured my pec doing flies. When I went to the hospital the doc said it was an over stretched tendon. Its been 1.5 years,,, its still deformed but doesnt hurt.

has it messed up your pec development..not shape but have you been able to keep adding size since this happened..also did they offer any solution for this..

 

[Derek]

he said go easy for about 8 monthes.

I havent had a growth spurt so its hard to say. When I do a most muscular pose that part of the chest contracts in a weird way. Like it bunches up, like if the muscle was short. I am forced to use machines... or dips and my sole pressing exercises.

Torn retinaculum or something?

 

[Derek]

I have no clue.. but I am gonna make an appointment again. Maybe with the same doc and tell him what the fuck!!!!

overstretched pec my ass!! go to a different doc.. anytime a deformity occurs in the muscle, i will bet my home that it happens from a tear..the muscle is obviously detached to cause it to bunch up like that..there may not be anything they can over this length of time but, it is worth looking into.. good luck

WHEN I TORE MY BICEP......

THE FIRST DOC I WENT TO TOLD ME .......WE'LL JUST PUT IT IN A SLING, IT WILL REATTACH ITSELF'.......I KNEW THAT WASN'T WHAT I WANTED.......SO.......I DROVE FOR A COUPLE HOURS TO A BIGGER TOWN WITH AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON ON CALL. THEY DID SURGURY THE NEXT MORNING. ALL DOCS ARE NOT EQUAL. ....YOURS GAVE YOU POOR ADVICE. 'OVERSTRETCHED IT .....RIGHT IN HALF...OR RIGHT OFF THE BONE.

i recently fucked up my pec benching, just to let u know

 

[Derek]

I live in canada, Is there anything I can do to this doctor for blowing me off with bad advice?? Im not a pro athlete or anything but it is my body and he gave me wrong advice.

 

[LATS]

no.. not really.. there are many things, in my opinion that he should have done to be completely sure of his decision.. but, like i have always said.. when it comes to your body get a second opinion..i have a great sports monded doc and he knows what i want to happen.. he knows that what may work for the average non lifter will not work for me..when i torn my pec, the first doc said.. "no big deal.. it will function fine for everyday activity.. it might look bad but, who is going to see it??" needless to say , i jumped in the car and found a new doctor..
