Pec tendon tear - who has had surgery?

[JUICEDUP3]

I tore mine pretty bad about 15 years ago. Then another partial tear about 6 months ago. My heavy days are over.

Needless to say I never had surgery, because of no insurance. I have a gap in between my shoulder and upper chest. Not very noticeable until I flex my chest.

Would definitely recommend surgery for anybody who tears the pec.

I am now out of the sling as of last week. Went to see my surgeon tonight and he said I can start light resistance weights at 3 months mark (which is about a month away).

Looks like I will be doing 2.5kg to start with and increasing by 2.5kg each week if it feels ok! Long way back to the 60s it seems.

You'll get there soon. Don't rush it.

Thanks bud! No I won't be in a rush, it's not been enjoyable being in a sling and out of the gym and doing everything with 1 arm, so I am definitely going to take my time and listen to my body!

I pulled a muscle in my back over a month ago and it sucked ass for the first two weeks. I could barely get up off the couch or pull my pants up. I hope I never tear a muscle off the bone.

Had a pec injury and went for a MRI and been to see the consultant tonight who thinks it is a tendon tear so is getting me on the list for surgery (here in the UK).

The injury was just under 2 months ago so he is keen to get a move on so that it doesn't retract and cause an issue with surgery.

I need some positivity from those who have had the same or similar as feeling pretty crap about the prospect of being in a sling for 3-6 weeks and not training properly for 3 months (other than legs and left hand side unilateral work).

I plan to jump back on BPC157 and TB500 as soon as the surgery is done. I have never run GH before but is it worth adding that in to the mix too for 2-3 months to assist with healing?

Many thanks.

Always the best decision to get a tear or similar injury repaired. I had written a long “get the surgery” post before I saw that you already got it.

For anyone else ima similar situation: always get it fixed.
