When I phoned up yesterday I told the receptionist if he bodged me up again I'd be mega pissed and told her what he did to me last time.
Anyway, after he had a look at my teeth he said 'For the record, we don't do unnecessary work, and we certaintly don't bodge people as you put it' to which I said 'Things have improved then' and left. I shall not be going there again.
Gutted about your pec'. How did that happen and will you need surgery or anything?
Benni.
Back to the emergency medical centre then.
Not good. lol at your quip though, I bet he was dumbfounded.
Training chest last night feeling good, built up to my heavy set, lowered the weight down to my chest and as I was pushing it up I felt (and heard) it tear. Easiest way to describe it is a rapid popping sound and felt like frayed rope giving way.
I told my spotter to take it and then my arm started to go numb and got pins and needles in my hand. I knew what I had done straight away so that was game over. I'm not normally one for the quacks but I had a restless night last night and read some scare stories on the net last night so I wanted to make sure it was just muscle fibres and not the tendon. Got an appointment this morning and it appears to be fibres so its a matter of resting up and treating it with hot and cold. They only operate if its tendons as the success rate for stitching muscles back together is 50% or less. Takes 4 weeks for the swelling to go down?? If I get a purple tit/shoulder I'll take a pic or two.
I just hope I recover OK and that it doesn't make my chest go deformed.
Feels pumped/swollen to hell at the moment and bruised. Like someone has inserted a cricket ball in there.
