I don't think what info I have would be useful, boss. The enlargement that damaged my heart was caused by the virus that attacked it. The combo of the biventricular pacemaker and carvedilol helped my heart to partially remodel.
The enlargement I have now is lifting/exercise related and my cardiologist said that it isn't harmful since my ejection fraction is low normal now.There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

In bold: Yes sir, she and 2 other cardiologists that were involved with my case and treatment plan said that as long as your ejection fraction is good and you don't have a gross arrhythmia associated with it, they consider it an athletic heart (I still have a mild arrhythmia,but it is caused by a conduction issue of the nerves). Now, if it were enlarged to the point that the muscle became "floppy" and ejection fraction was sub par there is a potential for a problem.
All of them stressed that lifting and exercise were healthy, but always breathe when lifting. It greatly reduces the load on the cardiovascular system.There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

Yes sir, my conduction issue is left bundle branch block. It will always be with me, they expect. Caused when the virus has grossly enlarged my heart. They never mentioned reduction of the enlargement but encouraged me to stick with the exercise. They did stress enlargement wasn't am issue as long as function was good. The only reduction that was addressed was the remodeling of my heart by the meds and the pacemaker.

Marcus sounds like you're referring to left vertricular hypertrophy. Not really that uncommon.

I go in to the PT guy in a few minutes and will report back. I just got a side bent leg view of it a little while ago and I can see where part of the ham is not attached as it should be. Doesn't look good to me, maybe worse than the first one. I don't F'n really know yet though. Swelling may be playing a part here.
FML.

PT guy took one look at it and said it's a least a 50% tear of the Biceps Femoris. Lovely. He asked when I see the ortho and I told him Friday. He said no, he'd call him and get me in. I was in the ortho's office within an hour and a half. He looked at me and said "what did you do now?" Nice.
He took a look (x-rays too) and said it's a bicep femoris tear at the musculotendinosis junction. He does not think at this point that the tendon itself is damaged but gave me a script for an MRI to better evaluate it. I scheduled that for 0830 tomorrow morning. He went on to say that if it's just a muscle tear he doesn't think that surgery would be recommended, but he's not the surgeon. He said muscle doesn't adhere well when just sewn onto other muscle.
Naturally I've now been doing some research finding that it's a very common sports injury and that the recurrence rate is over 50%. Lovely. Anyway, MRI tomorrow and I'll know more I'm guessing by Friday or Monday. FML.

Well, shit. Let's hope the MRI shows that this isn't as severe as it looks/sounds right now. You didn't have any warning at all with this, did you? No sciatica type pain or anything?
I did do some quick reading and it sounds like the tendon extends a good bit of the way into the muscle.Last edited by almostgone; 11-30-2017 at 01:47 AM.

Well , I've taken almost a week off. Back at it tomorrow. Back/trap feels better but still a niggle in the left hamstring area although I swear mine is piriformis related? Feel somewhat like a a wuss for not lifting and Kel is going all out balls to the wall.
Mentally still off kilter; this is my least favorite time of the year. Work is overwhelming at times, but hope to be off the weekend. Put off my massage and a dental appointment until next week; don't feel like being in public any more than absolutely necessary.
Will be better once I get to lift.
Kel, I have my fingers crossed that this will be a quick recovery!There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

No warning whatsoever. Hell, it was my "good" leg. It wasn't even a heavy weight on the new machine. MRI's done and they said my doc should have it by probably late Monday.
Took a pic of the "divot" so to speak. I bent the leg to show how the ham now abruptly stops on it's way down toward the knee. I could not put any pressure on it though to tighten it up and show more muscle clarity so the ham is sorta just hanging there. The other pic is from September just to show the difference in the appearance of the hamstring.

Shit. Yes sir, it definitely isn't anchored/tied in normally. Still got my fingers crossed that the MRI reveals less damage/quicker recovery than the PT is thinking.
Looks like a decent amount of swelling as well. Hopefully you will get a quick T/A from the radiologist so you won't have to wonder through the weekend.There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
