[QUOTE="Don't tread on me, post: 4190812, member: 24564"] Thanks so much for all your replies. Surgery can feel, mmmm isolating. Injury happened from a lifting incident at work. I do a pretty manual job. Recovery seems slow, I know i'm only about a month but the lack of activity is rough. I like to think I'm younger than I am and recover quick. Prior to the injury I was lifting about 2-3 days a week with cardio, and BJJ 2-3 times a week. I'm worried I wont be able to get back to that level. I have heard, and read that sometimes the bicep just wont "calm down" post surgery. And they have to go back in and move it for pain relief. I really hope that is not the case, and I know i'm putting the cart way before the horse so to speak. I met with two different surgeons prior to landing on one. The first wanted to go in a repair the labrum and move the bicep attachment point. The second (same fella that did my hip) opted to repair the labrum, and if it was a must move the bicep attachment. But if he didn't have to he wouldn't. I obviously went with the least aggressive in my mind, trying to leave "natural anatomy" alone. [/QUOTE]
