hi everyone,

apologizing in advance being that my surgery was oct 28, 2008 and therefore recent...anyways, mine was an open (non-arthroscopic) procedure as well, performed during the same session as a slap repair...

as one post mentioned, a labral tear does not necessarily have to be implicated with detatchment of the biceps tendon. however with a slap tear by definition, at least PART of the biceps tendon will...

ive read some of the posts here and just wanted to add my two cents. i had a slap repair and distal clavicular excision perfomed on oct 28, 2008. first, although pt alone can do wonders and may get...

best answer: rest. your erector spinae take longer to heal after training than pretty much any other muscle group in your body. if you have pulled an erector, trap, lat or whatever, you are going to...

thanks for the advice it is much appreciated. yea, i think i know that my body definitely wont be ready to run for a while yet. i actually feel as if i have rediscovered cardio though somewhat as...

cool yea, my doc told me anything im able to do in the sling right now is fair game, so ive been biking, staircliming, and "briskly" walking uphill lol. i know the up and down jarring from the impact...
