I had an injury at work that will change my disc golf game. I ruptured my distal bicep tendon on my throwing arm, which means I won't be throwing with it, or putting with it. Love the game so much, that I'm thinking of learning the game as a lefty. At 62 years old, I don't seem to care as much about how much I'm going to suck at this game. I'm kind of looking forward to the challenge.

Sounds like you are foregoing repair?
I have yet to see the surgeon. It only happened 8 days ago.
Hope it goes well. Google says it's a tough rehab, but else you gonna do right?
Wishing the best for you, Moose!I won't waste thread space with my swollen knee, but I am afraid I may have aggravated an old injury badly.
A couple of years ago I tore my meniscus in the same knee I had previously torn my acl and thought it was very painful I didn't have insurance so couldn't have it repaired. About a month ago a bad fall during a tournament fired it up again. After taking it easy for 5 weeks or so I finally felt like I could try a full power throw again. In our PDGA league there was a 480ft par 4 that I thought I could reach with a full pull.
I give it a full send and the knee cracks, something loose got caught in the joint and made me feel sick. Shot turned out good, I was in the circle but missed the putt since I could barely stand, but my card mates promised the shot was cool.
Im really hoping this doesn't mean an operation, but im getting to the point where I can't walk stairs.
Update:
PT is definitely working and I see significant improvements week over week. Both knees are responding well and my range of motion is is up to about 120° - 125° (full ROM is about 140°).
Will start working on stairs strengthening, but it's important to restore as much range of motion as possible while that window is open, and I wasn't allowed to bend my knees for about a month after surgery.
PT said muscle begins to atrophy after about a week, but doesn't really begin hypertrophy (growth) until after 4weeks of strength training. Also said the road to a reasonably full recovery after any serious orthopedic surgery is about a full year.

Superglue is your friend.No pics, but I cut my fingernails the night before a tournament, now my fingertips are painful... I don't like to compare suffering but you know...
