+ 12 Inside My Tunnel of Love :-)
Here are some Keyhole Surgery Shots inside my Shoulder when they repaired my Supraspinatus for anyone interested 
Some photo's have displayed upside down for some reason when my phone has taken them, nothing to do with eroids,
To give some bearing on what is going on inside whilst I have a breathing tube stuck down my throat LMAO -
Top picture is of the U-shaped 2cm hole in the tendon, note it is still intact either side because the bone spur sticking out of the Acromion above had worn through tendon below from me flaring my arm out benching and and pushing it up above - eventually after many years creating a tear and then big rupture. This is the area half way cleaned out here.
2nd Picture down is the anchor going into the bone that has been drilled out
3rd Picture is the Stitches holding the torn tendon back across and onto the bone.
4th Picture is the tendon after being cleaned out with the U shape hole visible
5th Picture down is them drilling into the top of the Humorous (arm bone) in order to place the anchors afterwards that will hold the stitches down that are going to secure the torn tendon back across.
6th Picture is the tendon being hoovered and out cleaned
7th and 8th Pictures show the bone spur on the acromion, then afterwards where they have shaved it off with the little tool used to do it LOL
I know pictures have kind of been uploaded back to front but my phone seems to of jumbled them up a bit. Ya get the picture anyway!!

"tunnel of love" was very deceiving here brother. I think alot of guys clicked on it expecting to see a colonoscopy post or some shit. Lol (you know I'm right)
Looks crazy bro! I wonder if they got video of mine? I know it was way more invasive but they probably do, wouldn't they? I gotta ask now at my next visit! Prayers for fast healing brother! You'll be pressing again in no time
It was pure Clickbait pal - But you have to admit my tendon hole looks like an entry point LMAO!!!
You should ask them mate - I had to sign a Declaration for them to be able to do it. He also teaches Shoulder orthopaedics as he's the best surgeon in the region so I think they will be used in his classes as an example of a tendon influenced by AAS since they alter the matrix and structural build of collagen fibres and tendons - Steroids actually fuck them up long term and make them weaker than someone who is natural believe it or not.
Love me some medical pics hehe. Always fun to see the internals of how we push our body to the limits then recover and heal and just push it harder like we're machines, albeit in a safer fashion of course. Sweet post mate, love the diversity of this community. Side note which one of you pussy bitches downvoted this post??? You deserve 200mg/wk estradiol Cypionate for being such a faggot bitch.
It was that VeganBBC guy mate.
I just had the exact same pictures done lmao in November , 8 months ago. That rehab for my shoulder was no joke, using the anchors and all. Still trying to fight back
Which tendons did you tear mate and how did the injury happen?
Modern Medicine is amazing. The shit they can do today to repair us.
Oh shit… I don’t know what I’m looking at it but it looks gnarly af
Hope you healing nicely bro
LMAO!!! I'm pretty sure you had all this done too mate!!
Did the surgeon not take any pictures when he was in there? You had a shoulder overhaul so he would of got some right ones! I think my surgeon was particularly interested in what condition my tendon is in since using AAS as he expected it to be poor and structurally weak.
Ohhh I got the pics but that doesn’t mean I know what’s going on. It’s like looking at calculus
Come on - put em up!! I'm interested to see them
Hope you heal up fast brother! I’m about to have some minor hand surgery and I’m slightly freaking out about the recovery time and missing upper body days. I couldn’t imagine 6months+ off.
What peptides and supplements have you been taking for recovery? I’ve seen you mention vitamin c before so I’ll need to add that to my stack.
I'm Sorry about being a twat to you mate on the hunting post, the whole thing just got my back up at the time. I think its best I just stay off those in the future
What Surgery are you getting done - or should I say what is wrong with your hand?
I am using BPC 157 and TB 500 ED at 500mcg each, I do want to try GLOW but am a little nervous of the potential bad PIP I have seen people mention. Vitamin and Mineral wise I use a general all round Multi Vit and then add 1 gram Vitamin C tabs ED, 75mcg Vit D, 375mg Magnesium, 7mg Manganese (Very important for tendons) B12 1000mcg, Folate 200mcg, Zing 50mg AND 30 grams of Collagen Peptides and Vit C powder ED. There you have the peptides helping the already active Collagen Fibroblasts helping the fibroblasts stay active for longer and keeping them more targeted to the site of injury - then you have all the vitamins needed for structural integrity Plus the RAW materials like the Collagen peptides needed for the essential amino acids in it that build the tendons like proline, glycine and hydroxyproline. There is the option of adding in HGH ED but to be honest pal with all I do and take every day as it is, its tedious enough LMAO I feel like the HGH may just be overkill - DO remember that normal daily life people heal these things without all thats listed there. It feels good though to know you are doing all you can to help the healing and recovery though as the rest of your lifting career depends on what you are doing right now to make sure the bond is as strong and healthy as possible
No worries brother, water under the bridge.
I’ve been dealing with de quervain's tenosynovitis on my dominant hand for a little over 3 years. Orthopedic finally convinced me to fix with surgery. It’s supposed be a super simple procedure so not really comparable to your ordeal. I agree with what ya said though - I want to do all that I can to improve recovery. I’ll be taking KLOW80 and GH, just not 100% sure how I’m going to pin with 1 hand. Going to add your items to my shopping cart now.
The HGH and GLOW can effectively be injected anywhere mate with them being systematic, I figured I would have issues just having one hand but all you need is to be able to hold the vial in your injured hand at any level whilst drawing with your insulin needle - I found it no issues even at first when the nerve block had just worn off. Then jab it anywhere like your stomach or forearm?
As far as the Glow / Klow... My wife is one of those that gets discomfort from the copper "GHK-CU" in it. We found she doesn't get any discomfort or redness if I dilute it more with some extra bac water though. So for example if it is a 15-20 unit injection. Once it is loaded into the syringe. I also load another 15-20 units of bac water. As long as we do that, she never has a single issue from it. Best of luck with your recovery pal.
Interesting - So basically doubling the volume of it makes it much better. I know someone in the UK using it and after 2 shots he had to stop using it since the pain from the injection was WORSE than the actual injury he was trying to heal!!! I will pass on your advice there buddy
Dam press that’s crazy I hope you heal fast and get back in the gym as soon as possible. Will you still be able to bench or will you mainly stick to dumbbells?
Barbell Bench all the way Baby!!!!
Glad to hear you will be good to go once all healed up, take care my man wish you all the best.
The main thing is to give it enough time to heal up fully and not rush back into things. There are set timescales you have to stick to whether taking healing peptides or not. Generally you are looking at 4 months after surgery to be allowed to press the empty 45lb bar again and relearn the bar path etc, then 6 months before you can begin progressive resistance again gaining your strength back - but still its safe to stick to 50 to 60% of your previous max. It takes 12 months for the tendon to fully integrate back into the top of the arm bone and lay down all of the collagen both types 1 and 3 and then solidify. So in other words to fully go bustin balls before the 1 year mark is just playing Russian Roulette with the time and money invested in the Surgery. Just to be doing upper body training again will have me on Cloud 9 for several months mate so I really don't feel like there is any rush. Kind of a Head Fuck I am only 5 weeks into that 12 month timeline but it is what it is. So many guys been through this on here and worse ......
Thats fucking rank if i didnt know ahead what it was. Fuckin minging mate!
LMFAOOOO You've learnt UK speak matey!!!
heal up fast recovery brother
Wow, that’s amazing. You can see the fraying and torn bits. You must have been carrying a lot of pain. Happy to hear you can at least sleep properly now.
Dam bro... That must've been very painful. Hope your back at it soon.
Ok another note. It really is interesting what they can do now. All with some little holes. It still is crazy how they can keep you passed out the whole time. While tearing your body up and reconfiguring it. Only if they had something to eliminate pain afterwards. Instead of just try and block it.
Yeah man its funny as I didn't get a lot of explanation on the pictures with what each is showing - but I've figured it out over time together with the tools that are being used LOL The white drill is funny with the water flowing past the edges and upwards from the circles!!! The little steel hoover sucker and then the bone shaving device. Yep amazing how they do that through 4 little holes together with a camera guiding it all on a screen in the theatre. Yeah man the constant throbbing through day is bad - But its the night that gets ya because it just gets 5 times worse as the blood pools with inflammation fluids in the joint. First 3 nights were insanely bad and had e feeling so bad after 3 hours per night.
I tore my ACL and meniscus when I was 18 and my knee was twice the size of my thigh. That hurt like a motha fucka on until I fucked my back up. That was worse.
But that.. grinding down bones and shit, cutting tissue up. I mean that's some series trauma man when you think about it. It's like you got shot but it's just clean.
I def feel you bro.
Glad to hear you are on the mend. Tunnel of love always brings back memories of listening to Bruce while enjoying ballons of N2O
Wondering if they explained when to expect to have it replaced again?
Step inside, love
Let me find you a place
Where the cares of the day
Will be carried away
By the smile on your face
We are together
Now and forever
Thanx
now I will have to get my tank refilled
Ouch!! Heal up fast!
5 weeks post op and its feeling well now - still cannot lift my arm under my own strength yet to the front or side but no resting throbbing pain or issues when sleeping now. Still can't wipe my arse with the proper hand either LOL
I got busted up a decade ago and could only wipe ass doing serious porno moves. It sucked!
Hgh 157 and tb???
No HGH - Just the peptides, collagen peps and all the right Vitamins.
Good!!! You'll heal up right quick!
A bidet is relatively cheap and would definitely be “handy” for such a situation.
lol use a water hose and give the neighbors a show. Glad to see you are on the mend broski!
Hosepipe ban over here currently mate!!! LMAO
100% bro! I had shoulder surgery so I had to wipe with my left. Hardest thing ever lol. Hope all heals well and that you break PRs when healed
Thats honestly my biggest fear getting my shoulder repaired. I imagine shit would be everywhere if I had to use the other hand
It was mine too!!! I ain't gonna lie - its a pig at first and takes more effort to do and is frustrating. I researched this AI style before getting surgery luckily and the easiest way to do it is stay sat on the toilet and move to the side enough to get your other hand down into the basin and go into the crack from the side. You have to bend forward on the toilet a little to get the access angle right but you do get better at it!!! Took me 3 weeks to get use to it and now it feels pretty normal. Normally one revisit to the toilet for a re-wipe session after the dust (shit) settles from having a 5 minute sit on the sofa LMAO
