Pec Sugery?

[drGlute]

Anyone have an excellent Dr. to recommend on the west coast of the U.S.A. for pec tear surgery? Thanks for your help.

anybody have experience here?

West Coast, no. But surgery yes. Might take a few days for someone to get back with you being father's day weekend and all. Have you already had an MRI and consult?

Yes, it is definetly torn from the shoulder. What was your expereince?

My was a complete rip from the tendon. Left little muscle to re-attatch to. I would rather have it rip from the bone, if there was a tear. Easier and better to heal. I still have metal stitches inside and feel the scar tissue flair up every once in a while. I no longer do flat bench. But my strength is back and the shape is not too off. Nasty scar though. Make sure you get deep tissue massages to break up scar tissue and watch nutrition. I think if I remeber right Layne uses HMB and a few other supps to maintain his size and strength on his recovery. Hopefully he is around to answer some.

Yes, my tear is actually muscle and tendon, I have had it worked on once, about 1 1/2 ago and the work is coming undone. I really need to find a doctor who has odne this sort of repair, multiple times if possible. I have researched it and there are not any doctors i my local area, Nevada, was hopoing I might one in California.

Dr. Peter Millet. Steadman Hawkins clinic, Vail Colorado. He did mine, fixed a complete rupture 5 years after injury. He was the only doctor that would even take on the challenge of my injury. I guarantee he can fix it better than anyone else. He trained at the Special Surgeries Clinic in NY.

Don't be discouraged, you will be able to fix it.

Thank you, THank you, I have been getting discouraged. Every doctor I have gone to, and I have gone to all in las Vegas do not want to get involved. They all try the old "if you are not goingto be in shows than do not even worry". I am sorry but bodybuilding is my foundation, it is my religion. I will always work out, and I need this fixed.
