Hi Joe
My Popeye muscle is due to muscle rupturing post surgery
Dr attached my tendons
The next day I felt like something snapped in my shoulder
Dr said all was well but after 2-3 months of physical therapy I’m still unable to lift a jug of milk to put in refrigerator

Thanks for your thoughtful response Jim, and I'm truly sorry for what has happened to you.

What was the nature of the surgery? I had an anatomical total shoulder replacement, and my surgeon detached the tendon of the long bicep and did not reattach, so I have the popeye bulge. I don't have huge arms and while I'm only 2.5 months post-op, I can curl 10 lbs and lift stuff like a jug of milk or water.

Its sure sounds like more needs to be done. After 2-3 months of PT you should have around 50% of your strength back (that's for a shoulder replacement).

Anyway let me know what surgery you had. And what does your PT say about not regaining strength?

All the best to you Jim.

Joe
