This is a YouTube video titled "9 weeks post distal bicep tear repair" containing a personal update from an individual discussing their recovery progress nine weeks after surgery. The speaker describes ongoing nerve pain, rehabilitation exercises, and lifestyle habits such as walking and nutrition to aid recovery. The content is a monologue focused on health and fitness recovery.
See, I can almost get my arm totally straight. Scars are doing okay, feeling pretty good. All in all, I'm doing really well for nine weeks post surgery. The challenging part right now that's still challenging is I still have nerve pain in my hand, my thumb from about my elbow down to that. So I've got the nerve pain, that's the challenging part. And I have to remember still not to use my biceps. So. So that's hard to remember because it hurts less now. So I don't have that reminder. I don't have the cast on, I don't have the brace on. So I'll tend to want to go open the refrigerator or lift something up. And that I can't do because the risk for re tearing is still there until about 12 weeks. Now after 12 weeks I'll be able to start working on a few other things. And then it's at the four month mark that I'm being told I can start doing some of my other moves like pull ups, chin ups, I can start working towards the progression. There's what I'm going to show you right now is a few of the moves that I do every day to help rehab my arm and get that muscle back. And what are the other things I'm doing to maintain muscle, reduce pain, stay lean, what am I doing there? I walk about six miles a day and I usually divide that up into two three mile walks and I include a lot of hills in that. I also have my nutrition dialed in. I eat a primarily natural, unprocessed whole food diet and then I'm doing other exercises as I can do them. I just have to leave my bicep out of the equation. So if you want my exact meal plan and you want to see all of the workouts and f outs with me, then I highly suggest checking out my home fit bundle and I'll put a link below.
