Limp Noodle Arm Update 💪🏻➡️🍜
I saw the orthopedic specialist yesterday, and unfortunately, as suspected, it looks like the long head of the biceps tendon in my right arm is officially a goner. 🫤
The good news? 🙌🏻 Since this appears to be a relatively common injury in active adults, surgery is not recommended in my case.
To be completely honest, their recommendation was basically… “Let it do its thing and wait it out.” 🤔
I’m not quite ready to accept the “just wait” part, though. I’ll be looking into Physical Therapy so I can be proactive about getting strength, function, and mobility back as I heal.
For those wondering what exactly is going on:
The long head of my biceps has lost its anchor at the shoulder. The tendon has retracted, and the hope is that it will eventually scar into place and become functional enough to compensate.
For now, though, that biceps is basically just floating around doing its best, and my right arm is noticeably weaker because of it. 💀
The important part for my clients: sessions are NOT being canceled.
We’ll continue training as scheduled. There will just be some modifications to spotting and demonstrations on my end while I work around the injury.
And if I demonstrate an exercise with one arm, please listen to the words coming out of my mouth, I probably still want you doing it with both arms. 😉😂
Thank you to everyone who has reached out, checked in, and asked how I’m doing. And especially thank you to my clients for being understanding as I make some temporary adjustments.
Hopefully, with some patience, some PT, and a little hard work, I’ll have this thing functioning a whole lot better over the next couple of months.
Until then… Coach Ruzzo is still open for business and accepting new clients for the “Holiday Rush”… yeap, sadly, winter is coming 💪🏻😎
