| 1283152 | 2012-06-25 16:45:00 | You really want to know? Ok long story. In 2004 I started having shoulder problems related to work/ rock climbing not sure which probably both well the tendon that holds my right bicep snapped (long head of bicep look it up) it was damn painful and required urgent surgery. Unfortunately it wasn't salvageable and affected my rotator cuff as well. My right bicep now bunches up with a nice big hollow above it. At the end of 2010 it started getting worse again bearing in mind I had been working up to then as a joiner so middle of last year I had to have another operation and have been advised not to go back to physical work as it will just make it worse. Sorry to have not read this post of yours earlier - but I too ruptured my right bicep, exactly as you did with the 'cup' at the top of it and the resulting bulge looks kind off and actually makes my wife wince when she sees it. But I've never had even a tiny pain from it at all. Never. I damaged mine when I reached down to pick up a radiator on a job I was working on and it just 'popped' and I dropped the radiator. I never went to the doc, and when I finally had my yearly interview at the VA for my physical, the doc told me there was a 4-6 hour window of opportunity in which it could be repaired, but after that it was non-resolvable. So --- I just live with it - but twisting lids off jars (that's become the wife's thing) and using a screw driver are mildly painful. There is also a somewhat medium loss of strength too - but contact sports are out of my future and that's OK with me since I have other conditions that keep me more gently active now: trout fishing, bass guitar playing and building and generally a life of reflective gentrification as I am retired. Bar fights (NZ: pub altercations) and mountain climbing (NZ: daily commute to/from work) are surely limited now too. |

| 1283154 | 2012-06-25 21:12:00 | $1200 for a kitset, but if your good with a soldering iron and do all the electronics yourself you can get it down to around $600-700, that's where the work is for us making up the sanguino board lengthening wires on motors etc. send me a sketch and I'll tell you if its possible | gary67 (56) | ||

Mine did some extra residual damage in my shoulder which is what causes the problems now, if it was just the bicep I would be ok to keep working. I can still do most everything just not working for 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I could manage 1-2 hours of building every 3 days at most. But I can still cast a hook into the sea, ride my bike and use a computer |

| 1283156 | 2012-06-26 05:06:00 | Oh yeah - casting for trout is a given. Without that, I'd rather die - well, not really since there's also playing bass in a bluegrass group and riding my mower, cutting the lawn. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
