I really appreciate you doing this series. And for giving a 2 year update. Please keep doing updates. I ruptured my pec tendon 13 years ago. And now I have A/C joint osteoarthritis, a long head biceps bucket handle tear, and posterior labrum tear. So I am getting a distal clavicle resection, bicep tenodesis, and labrum repair. The pain has finally caught up to me. I am a massage therapist and enjoy weightlifting but now find I am having to adjust both too much and I am in constant "discomfort". At 41 years old I am worried that I might have to retire from massage therapy if this surgery doesn't fix my problem. Also, recovery will be a long process. Anyhow, you rock for making such helpful videos. Thank Scott

I love seeing this video. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow and I have to say.. I'm jealous of seeing that kettle bell press. I can't lift my arm that high right now and I miss having my range of motion. I have a slap 2 tear and am in continuous pain now. Ready to do whatever will fix it (have had two shots that didn't last and can't do many exercises now d/t the pain). It's great to see someone doing so well afterwards.

[@Stealthyskillz]

thank you. especially on the part about your muay thai heavy bag work.

[@VictorChavez-xm8nm]

Thanks for the video..im actually having the procedure done to both my shoulders and im looking forward to going back to the gym. The video inspired me and lifted my spirits thank you

[@davidjitt8097]

Update?

[@alicialabelle614]

Thank you for your videos - planning to have this surgery in the fall after golf season. Strangely it doesn’t hurt too bad swinging a club. Gearing up, psychologically, for the recovery! I appreciate you making these videos.

[@lukeunknown2626]

Swinging a club didnt hurt 🤔 how long were you waiting for your surgery... for you not to feel pain

[@alicialabelle614]

Chris Unknown - I’ve had the pain for years but it ramped up about three years ago. Was misdiagnosed two years ago and finally got a proper diagnosis in March and second opinion concurred. Surgery is in one month. 🤞🏼

@@alicialabelle614 Well what can I say... all the best. You should come back in a few months and comment on your results. Maybe after someone has read this, they'll remind you.

[@alicialabelle614]

@@fahadblack98 Hi there! Yes I am all good now! So happy with the results. I would say I was around 75% at six months post-op. Now I’m 100%. No pain - can do any exercise I want without limitation, laying on my side does not hurt (used to hurt laying in either side). Very happy!

[@thickdiva816]

Bro I've been watching your videos and I'm super inspired. Also jealous, as I'm 1 day post op and the nerve block is 90% worn off!!! 30 pain pills won't last long!!

[@lukeunknown2626]

Nerve block... what is that

[@lukeunknown2626]

Did you get the steroid treatment

[@peruzfinest07]

I did it without painkillers. The pain was crazy! I was in tears the second day! The painkillers are evil!!!

[@jmkeybass760]

@@lukeunknown2626 they block you principal nerve in your arm to make the surgery. You dont feel your arm for almost 24hr after that the block pass and start the pain. I has surgery on my shoulder 3 weeks ago (bankart and others repairs) and the pain is high. The evil on pain killer is because is Percocet/oxycodone, a very danger drug for the addictions.

[@lukeunknown2626]

@@jmkeybass760 I'm guessing you couldn't do it without the pain killers. Hope all works out well

very nice to see it did go well. Thanks for sharing that.

[@Luisfigueroa999]

Thanks for posting this.

[@MrJEEPJT]

Excellent video just stumbled upon. I didn’t see any of the previous videos to this one. Would you agree that certain exercises will feel slightly different now that the long head tendon is tenodesis to the humurus so as only the short head of the biceps will be activated such as a “SLOW” time under tension “STRICTLY” performed pull-down exercise in either palm position and a strict time under tension machine row ??? The incision scar indicates a low in the bicipital groove surgical repair…was a high in the groove arthroscopic repair an option at the time of your surgery ??? Not that the scar really matters. There are plenty of You tube videos with computerized images showing tenodesis and it seems that many surgeons advocate/prefer high in the groove all arthroscopic repairs….

[@tonnet51]

Awesome Scott! I am waiting to get my slap repair and tenodesis, but I am put on hold becuse the Corona. Just trying to figure out what level in "back to sport" I can aim on. How does your Muay Thai going, are you back in the ring? This videos are so blessing with info about the injury and how to deal with it.

[@lukeunknown2626]

It is and so hard to find the progress... Most content is from heavyweight lifters like @LarryWheels & #EddieHall who then stop showing a detail side series on their recovery to this date so far. It would be good if they spoke on how they felt about the process and what would they change now they know more.

[@tonnet51]

Chris Unknown exacly ! you find many videos after surgey but then many stops posting . I think it gets Really intresting in about 2 and more years after... but Scot have done it awesome👍 bless him!

Hey Scott glad to see the recovery going well. I just had my surgery today, and I gotta ask has you weight lifting ability become the same as before the injury?

[@lukeunknown2626]

What do you now know that wish someone had told you before going for surgery. And do you think you could of gone without surgery

[@josephbanker3829]

Hey were you able to get back to weight lifting? I had surgery 9 months ago and still run into some arm soreness if I go to hard

[@fahadblack98]

Hey bro thanks alot

[@Yazanweshah]

Great video! My question would be do you still experience some dull pain around the biceps new anchor area near the shoulder biceptal groove? It’s been six years post up but it still has that dull pain and shoots sometimes when I’m doing certain movement but doesn’t last

[@fmfdocbotl4358]

I had mine done last week and the pain is way less than before surgery. All I care about is getting back in my garden. I laughed when you talked about the scars. This is surgery number 6 so I have lots of them but my question to the dr was "its not going to mess up my tattoo is it?"

[@engine2truck6]

“Appearance” does not refer primarily to the scars but to the long bicep being like a shriveled walnut

[@LOBOFERZD]

Hello!! Great bro!! I have type 2 salp lesion,they want to make me thenodesis, but I do not want to have popeye effect, where you inserted your biceps?, and it was with screw or button, I hope you answer me please, I am with depression for not retraining, I want to go back to the gym, but that does not look antiesthetic the biceps.

[@polibag_66]

He had it subpectoral as he clearly says he had a mini-open surgery when he's showing the scar. Did your doctor tell you there's chance of a popeye sign?

[@AK-lf1ks]

Late to the game here: When did your pain stop? I am currently 10 weeks post biceps tenodesis. Post PT pain is high enough that it keeps me awake and have pain throughout the day. Surgeon communication has sucked so figured I would try sourcing some other peoples experiences in when pain went away.

[@Pars_and_Cigars_Golf]

Hey man I appreciate the updates. I'm currently 17 weeks removed and still have a lot of pain and limited mobility. Still going thru physical therapy so I'm hoping it starts getting better because I HATE living like this. Sorry if you said this in another video but how long before you were back to "normal"? Thank you.

[@lukeunknown2626]

Did you have your surgery already 🤔 Did you get the steroid treatment 🤔 And was you told by your Doctor that there is NO emergency or urgency for surgery 🤔

[@Pars_and_Cigars_Golf]

@@lukeunknown2626 yes I'm 8 months post surgery. Unfortunately I still have pain in the front and back of my shoulder which hopefully gets resolved with PRP shots.... no I refused the steriod shots because I wanted to be fixed rather than just pain relief.. some doctors said I didn't need the surgery and the doctor that did the surgery said I definitely needed it if I wanted to be as close to 100% as possible.

[@lukeunknown2626]

@@Pars_and_Cigars_Golf what's the PRP Shots 🤔

[@Pars_and_Cigars_Golf]

@@lukeunknown2626 Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient's own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

Can you another update? Do you have clicking/popping in your shoulder still? I am suppose to be having the surgery here in a few.

What is the maximum weight you can lift with your tenodesis arm in the same way you did at 9:40?

Hi Add, three weeks after the surgery my wife is still feeling pain in the shoulder. Is that normal for you?

She might have a Rotator cuff tear as well, you need her to go in for that separately.. 🙄

Are you fully healed now

[@peruzfinest07]

I have a question for you. It's been 12 days since I had my bicep tenodesis to correct my SLAP tear issues. When I take off my brace/sling and straighten my body out, I have this weird pressure on the humorus where the anchor is at. Did you experience this? If so does it go away?

[@lukeunknown2626]

Is your anchor drilled right through or halfway into the bone 🙄
