I was curling the bar loaded with 60kg.,my all time Pr, when, suddenly and without any pain, I felt a clear snap in my front delt.
The following day I had some pain, especially at night, at rest.
Now, after some weeks, I have full range of motion and very little pain.
My doc says I need surgery so my question is: do I really?
I mean, obviously there is a damage in my tendon but, as he say, the erst of my rotatory cuff is ok and that's why I don't have a limited ROM.
So should I do surgery? My concern is because I have a little cleaning enterprise and I move my arms (especially above my head) all day, all weelk. I'm doing it now without problem.
My doubt is that, if I don't repair the tendon it will get worse...even if making some research on the net it seems that it's not always so sure.
Any help and comment is appreciated guys.
Stay strong.
P.s. I learned the lesson: a 54 y.o. trained man should not do heavy Bb curl.
