I have a frayed biceps tendon in my left arm (I didn't injure it deadlifting, but the repair is the same). I am having a biceps tenodesis procedure next Wednesday, as the injury hasn't responded to steroid therapy and rest. Doc. suspects I may have a Labral tear as well, but they won't know until they get in there.
I'll be in a sling for 6 weeks post-op, and then it will be 3-4 months before it will be fully healed. There will be PT in there as well. I can give you guys the gory details on the procedure if you like.
