What a uncomfortable feeling. Anyway it went well but longer than expected. Dr told wife it was shredded in there. he reattached bicep tendon under armpit, repair 2 other tendons, 2 bone spurs, 5 anchors and a screw. doc told wife i shouldnt armwrestle anymore. but he didnt tell me that...lol
All that and still won my sitdown class 5 days earlier.

Take care Chris, doctors will always tell you not to armwrestle again, it's a liability to them if you get hurt afterwards if they say it's ok.
My last surgery (bicep tendon) the doc came out and told my wife "everything went great" she said should he armwrestle again? He said "No, but he will", doc knows me pretty good ;D

You know what though, when Doug had his surgery to repair his bicep the dr. must have been confident in their work cause they told him he should be good to go, but if it comes off the shoulder they generally do not put that one back, so they did a mri to make sure he was not tore up there. Said he looks good and just a very small sign of arthritis. God Speed guy and you will know when you are ready.
