Completely torn my right pec..

[LeDias]

Hi,
There's a little more than 3 weeks now I've completelly torn my right pec while I was doing flat dumbell press.
I felt my right shoulder going really far in the back and then the multiple "snap"...
finished my training at the hospital and fortunatelly my shoulder wasn't dislocated.

Day after, had an "echography" (not sure for the english word) and the conclusion was that the "big pec" is completelly torn and the "little pec" is partially torn.
The "big pec" was impacted in the distal average part of the muscle.

Now here is my problem, it's really the worst pain I have ever felt and it still hurt like hell, haven't slept well since the accident...
And worst no surgeon (2 have been requested by my doctor and the echograph) has accepted to do the surgery... I'm getting more and more anxious about what will happen to my pec and if it will heal without it.
I will meet one of them on december the 21th, will it be to late if hopefully he accept to do the surgery?

Any advice is welcome.Many thanks in advance.

PS: sorry for my english, thx

what reasons did the surgeons give that refused to do the surgery?

[LeDias]

Doc.Sust,
Because the subscapular is not impacted for them it's not an emergency...

But I have done some search and it seems that, even though, the surgery is required for this kind of injury.
So tomorrow morning I will go see again my doc and if he will not help see another.

yes , keep going if surgery is a must,find a surgeon who WANTS to do the surgery. not some flunky who wont unles it is an emergency, find a specialist, somebody who has great references.

Hi all,
I'm finally back and fixed!!!

Actually, I had my pec "reattached" on December the 12th 2006.

My appointement with this surgeon has been great cause he said directly and frankly, after having read my IRM and echography, that the only and appropriate way to fix this is the surgery.

So here I am with my right pec sore but fixed and around 25 lbs lost but my happyness is through the rough as my surgeon told me that he has done the surgery successfully and that, after 6 months and rehab, I will be "almost" as before.

I would just thank you cause you gave me the strength to not stop searching for a solution and I found a good surgeon!

Thx fred west, I will drop you an email soon

Thanks getnjakked

I will have a check-up with my surgeon this wednesday and I hope he tell me that I can start my rehab with a kinesitherapist.

I think I will stop bodybuilding for some times (a year?) and do cardio + swimming when I will be able to.
I will try HGH when I come back to bodybuilding.

Hi All,
Just want to say hello and give a little update.
I'm now on a rehab center 5 days a week and 5 hours per day.
I have just finished my 6th week last friday and I still have at least 2 weeks remaining.
I'm doing pretty well with my right pec, shoulder and arm but there is now a big difference between my right and left side.
My surgeon tell me to avoid bodybuilding for a moment and that make me kind of sad but it's for good so...

Is there some people that could give me some advices (training, cycle, etc...) to catch up my two sides ?
Many thanks in advance.
