Ruptured bicept tendon

(5 discussions)

5 Comments

I am 49 years old and about 3 weeks ago while lifting weights I was told that I ruptured my bicept tendon. It broke right at the arm pit. I was sent to an Orothopedic guy and he told me that they don’t do anything to anybody over 36. But I am not the typical 49 year old. I have doing weights since I was 20 and my job is construction. It seems fo funny the way the muscles are not connected at this time. He said I would lose about 15 percent of my strenght. I am now power lifter but my bench strenght was 250 lbs. Anybody out there at this age have any comments? Thanks so muc.Kurt

Physical Therapy Questions

My son has a broken hand (boxer’s break).
The doc placed a Galveston Metalcarpal Brace on his hand with the 2 point pads on top of the hand? Looking at the box the brace came in and the instructions, I’m afraid it may be on upside down. (just realized after wearing for 1 1/2 weeks.) Any information appreciated.
