pec tear

[getbiggest]

Now I'm not 100%sure on how serious my tear is but I felt it ripping where my chest ties into much shoulder and wont have a doctor's opinion until swelling is down just looking for some pointers as to what to expect and any help would be great this happened four days ago and this pic is from today and I was flat benching 405 going for a second rep

wicked livor mortis going on across your entire chest/shoulder girdle.. did you tear but sides since there is pooling on your left pec as well... obviously looks like some considerable rupturing going on your right pec/shoulder tie in... if you have any mobility then you at least dont have complete tears but not to say they arent at point of still needing surgery to reattach the various tissues.. possibly even a mesh graft like they do on ab wall for hernia ppl if so much muscle is affected..

Yikes, hopefully something can be done to repair those tears. I feel for you as I've strained my pec twice now on the flat bench which is why I will never do bb flat again and I would recommend the same to you. There's nothing much you can if the doc told you to wait besides icing it down and taking some NSAIDs to reduce swelling. Good luck on your recovery.

If a doctor told you to waite it out, you need a new doc!!! I tor my pec completely 6 months ago and my bruising wasn't nearly as bad as yours. You should get and demand an mri ASAP. You have a 2 week window where it is imperative to undergo surgery for optimal recovery/mobility and lack of deformity.
I got an mri 4 days after my tear and had surgery (complete pec tendon rupture) 9 days after and now have 0 deformity, 100% mobility and am already back to incline benching 3 plates.

TRUE THIS! Tendon ruptures and tears need to be repaired ASAP. For my first quad tendon rupture I was told that there was a THREE day window for optimal repair as after that the tendon begins to shrink and shrivel from not being under tension and makes reattachment difficult.

I had to wait two weeks for my second quad tendon rupture and from my personal experience can tell you that the repair is totally and complete crap compared to the first. Can't say specifically how much the extra waiting time had anything to do with it as there are/were many variables, but who knows.

Get it taken care of NOW!

X2! I partially tore mine, and got a sh!thead for a doc that told me there would be no noticable abnormality or loss of use, and he recommended no surgery. 3 years later I regret following that advice. This was a local orthopaedic surgeon. 2 years after the fact I got an appointment with Dr Andrews in Pensacola FL (famous for working on big name athletes). He told me I followed bad advice and should have had it done immediately after the injury, but 2 years is too much time to ensure any noticable improvement.

if it is a tear get the surgery ASAP. If its not done in something like 4 weeks then the pec will heal partially and NEVER look quite right
