I'm using an arm sling right now. I've got about 40 degrees of pain free motion

Just don't rush it. Nothing sucks worse than a setback.

I appear to have a torn (or multiple torn?) tendons in my forearm. MRI soon, surgery probably to follow :\

Damn man. Go easy on little Catt!
Kidding!
Hope you recover quickly!

Isn't getting old fucking great?
I've woken up two days this week with severe upper back pain. Simply because I slept wrong. Routinely I woke up with terrible neck and head pain for the same reason.
I used to take a futon chair and position it so it was like a bowl, and then sleep in that all night with zero issues!
I used to be invincible.

Yeah. So I've got a PT person who comes to my house every 2 weeks, and we work through all the things. Neck, shoulders, hip (since the surgery), back, etc. It's actually done a lot of good for things like this.

My wife has told me to get back into yoga. I love yoga and the 90 minute OG P90X was BRUTAL. I think I might have to do it, but I might start with DDP Yoga first. Veteran friendly, and I've heard some miraculous stories about it. Might be the right place to start for an inactive older fella.

Pilates would probably be better for you. I've never tried double-dick penetration yoga, for obvious reason, but whatever floats your boat.Leisher wrote: ↑Thu Nov 06, 2025 4:16 pm My wife has told me to get back into yoga.

I have genuinely never thought of that acronym. My mind is officially cleaner than yours!
DDP was a professional wrestler. Had serious health issues, met someone about yoga, recovered, started this business, etc.

Ah, let me know how it is. Maybe I need something less tendon-breaky.

MRI confirms severe tear in tendon, mild ligament tear as well. Surgery guaranteed. Bah.

That sucks. Good luck with the surgery.

Good news! I was reading about this type of surgery, and the recovery sounded awful. 2 months no hand usage at all (in a splint), then 1 month of barely any use, then 3 more months of recovery.
Turns out that's for open surgery. My surgeon (met this morning, we went to high school together, small world) thinks that arthroscopy will be sufficient, and recovery is DRAMATICALLY less. You wear a sleeve for a week, and I should be able to weight lift again at about 3 months. No strict restrictions, so can use a phone/computer/drive/whatever it feels good enough to do.

One week out of surgery. I have very basic use of my hand. I can type now, and hold very light things. I have not taken any pain meds this morning. Will probably take some Advil later with food. Still using the sling for another week, but out of the sling when sitting and such. Going to drive my car today (it needs PPF/ceramic, so dropping it off at the shop for a week). Then hopefully when the car is ready I can drive it more!

Like your penis?
Glad you're recovery nicely. Soon you'll be lifting weights like Arnold since your unemployed ass has nothing else to do!
