Just had my right lower bicep tendon reattached. I wanted to know what.

Mike P :

Just had my right lower bicep tendon reattached. I wanted to know what the down time is and how long until I get back to full strength, if ever ?? thanks

It sounds as if you are recovering from the re-attachment of your bicep resulting from a full tear of the bicep at the insertion. Depending on the effectiveness of your rehabilitation and the amount of scaring of the tissue, a typical time for recovery is 1 to 3 months.

Good news is if you follow your personal physicians advice, you should be able to get back to full strength-possibly within 3-4 months. Good Luck.
