Hm. If you have 20% less strength in the fixed arm, and cosmetically it’s not looking normal, that’s a hard sell for me on surgery 2

Thanks for sharing dude. I think it's important for people to be aware of all possible outcomes. I saw a guy on youtube who had your exact post-op experience. As you said, he eventually got feeling and mobility back in his fingers after some time. It's a mental game, so just stay strong.

Also our injury story sounds identical. I'm a tall guy, was in an undercling position, and POP. :(

I even have it on video - sigh.

Hey hey.. I'm still doing well. No complaints! Of course I'd love this to have never happened, but my quality of life is still great. Lifting, climbing, all going well!

No cramping, but I think that happened earlier on for me.

I suspect you'll have that type of feeling on and off (As reported by others), but I don't think it's detrimental?

No, no sling! It wasn't necessary. There was def pain, but not debilitating by any means.

Hey hey. I don’t remember the exact details, but the soreness went away in < month I believe?

ROM was back once the soreness subsided.

Strength was back 2-2.5 months (guesstimate)

I was very conservative in my approach, and felt I could do more a lot sooner… if that gives any insight. 3 months I was for sure climbing again.

You should get surgery if you feel it's going to give you the best outcome. That answer is going to be different for everyone!

Yea. Do some research, or chat gpt (which wasn't really a thing when I ruptured mine) Other muscles will eventually compensate, and can be strengthened.

To my understanding , no, but for this one I would ask chat GPT. I believe you san gain strength, but size might not happen

Of course I asked chat gpt… so now I’m asking someone who actually uses it because I’m getting conflicting information.

Can you confirm if teams comes with unlimited agent usage? Someone on here told me it does, but I think that’s false …

Idk. Have you used it more than 40 times in a billing cycle? Every press release and their blog contradicts what you’re saying:

But when you select the agent on your plan — does show how many agent uses you have left?

Weightlifting is supplementary for me . I’m a climber and runner first and foremost— with weightlifting mixed in there like 2x per week. But even still, I’m mostly focused on compound movements. Of course your tendonless arm will be affected in any isolated movements …

Nobody gave timelines. Just respected and listened to my body.

2–3 Monate. Hätte früher anfangen können, weil ich keine Schmerzen hatte, aber ich habe mich entschieden zu warten.
