I went to the hospital yesterday, to check on a bicep tendon strain I got from heavy bb curls. Since it was not detached there was no x-ray given. The doc said that they do not usually repair these injuries unless you are an Olympic athlete or sports is your profession. My injury is suppose to heal in a couple of weeks. I keep using my arm so it never healed from when I first injured it 3 weeks ago.
I was put in a removable cast so I would be immobilized. Right now I'm have been on GH for 5 months. Do you think IGF has helped you from the time you posted about using it? I wonder do I really need to get IGF if I'm already doing GH. Maybe I could inject my daily GH in my injured area to help it heal faster. Anybody have any opinions on this?
Sounds more like a distal biceps detachment to me, I had one, they are rare. There is a ligament that comes off the distal biceps tendon that can hold it in place even after a full detachment, it's called the "bicipital aponeurosis." When this stays connected, it can be difficult to diagonose. You need to make sure you seen a good ortho. There are newer methods of reattachment that work far better than older ones, see someone good.
BTW, I was able to lift well even with a full detachment, I've been told the brachialis is a more powerful flexor of the arm than the biceps.
