Don't know how I ripped the elbow Gerry but I know how I damaged the bicep. Day after Christmas I readended someone. My first at fault accident in 20 plus years. The bumper of the truck folded into the tire. In order to drive away I had to pull the bumper off the tire. Grabbed the tire iron from the jack kit and while prying the bumper off the tire tore the bicep. Now between the torn ligament in the elbow and bicep my right arm is useless

don't know how I did the elbow, I guess that could have been a mastubatory injury

Shrimpy,

I had a torn distal bicep tendon repaired this past spring. Once healed up, its back to 100% strength and 100% pain-free. I was at the point I couldn't open a doorknob with my right hand.

Good luck!

Hang in there and remember the body is an "incredible healing machine". Follow the Dr's orders and I have no doubt you will be in action soon. I had an uncle who had a similar mishap and he was back fishing in just a few months.

Walleye, I'm at the same point. Can't twist my forearm without intense pain in elbow and bicep. Did you need surgery. Sounds like you did as you mentioned it was repaired. Did you try physical therapy first or am I wasting time with the PT

Steve, get well soon. At least it didn't happen in the spring. You will be ready to go by April. See you out there.
