I tore my bicep last night. Has this happen to anyone here

[gymrat09091974]

So my bicep os torn at the elbow. Pain isn't severe, but there's a noticeable deformity. I have no insurance so surgery is not an option. What should I do? How long should I keep it immobile? When can I train again? Should I get off my cycle or stay in and see how my arm responds with a week or two of rest?

I have no advice for you but I'm sorry to hear that bro.

Fuk that's terrible news man. Not sure if it can help at all but do u have access to Hgh? Is it black and bruised?? Ice it.

 

[gymrat09091974]

Yea I have hgh coming actually. It's not bruised my I sm iceing it

If it comes up black in the next day or so you know you've done a good job otherwise just a partial tear I would say. Do you have access to any medical treatment? Get onto the Hgh ASAP and ice on ice off etc

tore as in seperated? of it is seperated you HAVE to get surgery done withint a month, so I have been told. my cousin seperated his outside head at the shoulder and he was told he cant have it repaired, it is too late when he flexes he gets this tight little ball, he says he doesnt have any measurable loss in strength tho in that arm, maybe the inner head compensated thru the injury to make up for loss.

No insurance. Surgery isn't an option. How long did he rested for? I know it sounds petty but my main concern is training. Its the only thing that keeps me from loosing my mind

Dude if you tore your bicep there's no other otption than to get surgery. Surgery is your ONLY option.

No insurance. Surgery isn't an option.

Don't be so quick to believe that. Ask the doctor about plans or payment options or other options at all. If you automatically say, "Sugery isn't an option" you're limiting yourself. Perhaps it is an option.

This. Investigate your options.

Hope it's not as bad as it could be, gymrat. Best wishes and keep us posted, man.

Folks around here with no insurance go to the ER for every little thing. By law, hospitals cannot turn a medical need away regardless of insurance status. A torn muscle is a MEDICAL emergency. Go to the ER. At the very least you will find out the degree of your injury and possible options.

I went to the doctor within a few hours. They said the only way to know the severity was to get an MRI. That's over $1,000.
