Distal Biceps Tendon Tear

[7mm-08]

I have a distal biceps tendon tear (not a rupture), which was confirmed with an MRI last week. The injury occurred in May and I went to my sports medicine doctor early last week because I couldn't tame it with ice (4X a day) and Aleve for a few months. The MRI disclosed substantial edema in the tendon and surrounding tissue notwithstanding my early aggressive efforts to self treat. Had I gone to my sports medicine doc the first week after the injury, we would have contemplated a PRP injection. At this delayed date, he suggested rest with no tension on the biceps until I get to see my PT on the 27th. Please don't get on me for not getting into the doctor immediately - when you're 68, you live with constant pain if you train hard, which I do.

Has else anyone had to deal with this little hiccup? What am I looking at time-wise for recovery from this injury? Thanks in advance to anyone who has gone through this injury and has some words of wisdom.

I had a partial bicep tear in July 2022 that nagged me for almost a year. I experimented with BPC157 peptides and my issue was resolved in about 30 days. This was when the injectable peptide was readily available. Haven’t tried it since and have no experience with the oral peptide, but I swear that is what cured me.

Wolverine stack is gunna work wonders imo.
Pt, rest, and once healed start working the muscle again.

I am going in for an mri in a week for the same thing. My primary doc thinks it’s either a split tendon or muscle. What were your symptoms? I’m sitting on about six weeks now of hardly being able to flex my bicep. More of a nagging injury than something that seems like it needs immediate attention
