So, I had surgery on my "completely torn" distal bicep tendon on Tuesday. The orthopedic surgeon saw in the MRI that the tendon was completely torn from the bone, which will never heal on it's own and can only be repaired surgically.
When I came out of anesthesia the surgeon tells me they opened up my arm but didn't fix anything and closed me back up. It turned out the tendon that was "completely torn from the bone" was just fine and completely attached how it is supposed to be. Basically the surgeon misread the MRI and cut me open for no reason. The surgeon tells my "maybe" I tore some internal tendon fibers but he couldn't find them during surgery.
Now my arm is still messed up pretty bad. I only have about 20% strength in my bicep. So, either the surgeon missed something or it's a severe strain that will heal without surgery.
