proximal biceps tendon rupture
I experienced a proximal biceps tendon rupture about 3 months ago. I saw my regular doctor and was referred to the orthopedic department. The Physician Assistant that I saw told me that they do not generally recommend surgery in men over 50 for this.
I accepted it at the time but I am now having second thoughts. I am 56 but I go to the gym daily and have noticed a loss of strength lifting weights. I also do not like the appearance of my arm.
Is it possible to still be considered for surgery after such a long period of time?
