when did your hubby tear his, what did they do for him?

hubby is laying around making me do everything for him today, he is in pain! and now chilling,poor baby

I told him he was cold because the blanket was not on his feet, he said well I can't do it, huummmm
so I took the blanket and covered him up, even his head, he said that was not funny and can't watch tv, ha ha

Oh that sounds awefully painful. Hope the Vicodin does its job. My best to you both.

I didn't read all the pages so didn't catch what is wrong - but am wishing your husband a speedy recovery.

Ouch! My DH did that a couple of years ago. His bicep was hard as a rock. Went to Dr., they wanted to give him pain meds, he said "No"; took anti inflammatory, iced it several times a day, rested, and it went away.

Hope yours fairs well.

thanks, calling another Dr. that hospital gave us for a follow up Tuesday

the ER Dr. said he tore his bicep muscle (did xrays, gave him meds and told us to follow up with specialist on Tuesday)

Today's the day for the specialist and I hope everything goes well.

I fell and hurt the bicep tendon in my shoulder, actually it goes from the shoulder to the elbow. It wasn't torn, but just overstreched, I guess, and developed bicep tendonitiss, amd there was a lot of inflammation. It was extremely painful and I couldn't use my arm for a long time. It's still not back to normal and there are still things I can't do, and there is still inflammation and that was over a year ago. The only thing I can do for relief is take ibuprofen which only takes the edge off. And I can't take that stuff too often. So I really sympathise. In a way, I wish I had torn the tendon because surgery can fix that just fine.

I hope the dr. has encouraging news for your husband today and that he gets the easiest, most successful treatment possible and in back to normal soon.

Be sure to keep all of us updated and in the meantime, I'm sending prayers.

CB, sometimes they send patients to Fort Wayne for an appointment with FWO. If that happens, let me know. I will come down and sit with you. Lutheran Hospital is a great place to be. When I worked at the Rehab Hospital we had several patients from your area staying there. So let me know if you get to come this way. Praying the docs can fix him up! Hugs! Nora
