Hello Guiydo

Thank you very much for your response.

Firstly, I know it is a complete rupture because I went to A&E at the time of the injury and they confirmed it. I say "confirmed" because I knew exactly what had happened. My biceps was all bunched up in the upper part of the humerus. Suffice to say I have a good knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

As I said, my strength and overall function is quite good. The doctor in A&E actually commented on how close to normal my strength was at the time. A few weeks later. I would say my strength was about 90%. I went swimming a few days ago (for the first time in many years, I might add) and I felt a bit of discomfort in the area when I tried to swim at full speed. Otherwise I have not experienced any serious problems.

Would it be possible to have surgery at some point in the future? What they told me in A&E was they surgery to reattach the tendon has to be done in the first few weeks, otherwise it may not be possible. I would be grateful if you could expand on your comment about having surgery in other areas.

Thanks again
