BICEP TENDON SURGERY

I have chronic bicep tendonitis in both shoulders. On 11-11-05 I had surgery in my right shoulder… In the near future I’m going to have them do the left. Before I start lifting weights again I want to spend 6 to 8 months (or whatever it takes) to totally strengthen my shoulder and surrounging area. I need help deciding which exercises to do and which not to do.Is there a book I can buy? Or a website I can read?

pectus {chest wall deformity}

(7 discussions)

Hi, I was wondering if there was anyone out there who has had to deal with a chest wall deformity called pectus caranatum. My son was diagnosed in September and we would like to hear from someone who has decided to live with their pectus as opposed to having the repair. We believe Nicky’s case is mild but have no preliminary tests done yet to back that up. I’d appreciate any information anyone may have. Thanks, Michele

It pops at times but that does not ease my pain, it makes it worse. Any info or help about this for me? Also I recently suffered from a blood clot (in my leg) and was wondering if there might be a connection between the two?

broken clavical

I broke my left clavical about 2 weeks ago. I am in the military and the doctors wont look at it for another month. I have had broken bones and I know it hurts and what bone pain feals like. The problem is I think there is a muscel or tendon betwen the brake in the bone and is healing like that. When I turn my head there is some thing tendon like that hurts and stiks out,it gos from the middle of the brake and runs up the side of my neck. It is very tight and almost feals like it might snap.Will this fix it self or will it require surgery. I do not feal that it is healing right,what do you think? Thank you for your time
