A member asked:
After rotator cuff bicep repair, if you return to heavy work too soon do you risk re injury or will there just be limits to what your body will do?

Let me explain: When you have injury like this, you have to be cautious, your body will till you when to stop. I would let it healed before i engage with heavy duty work. Good luck.

Yes: A return to heavy work too soon can risk re-injury with this surgery. Sometimes anchors have to be placed and there are many things that can happen.
