Complete Bicep Tendon Rupture | 10 Days after Surgery
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Hey everyone, welcome to my reality over the past few weeks. Constantly worrying about my situation & how I can improve or get better on the road to Recovering from Distal Bicep Tendon Surgery. Today is the 10 day update, where I anticipated being in my brace, but here I am getting a cast for another week. For such a low impact injury this has been a pretty stressful experience, but being on the other side of it & starting to feel like I'm making forward progress is the most amazing feeling that one can ask for. Thanks for all of the love & support everyone. - Ben

dude i watch your channel for you. not for the surfing but for you.
Amen!
As a non-pro athlete, its really frustrating to deal with injury diagnosis and quick effective care for return to sport when insurance companies deny requests and conservative treatment paths are prioritized. I had to pay 100 bucks 2x a week just for PT in the philly area, moved to tahoe and left my full time job to just work part time and now dont pay a dime for any treatment lol.
I've never surfed in my life, yet here I am as a subscriber. During Covid, JOB came into my youtube feed. I was bored while working from home and watched. In one of Jamie's episodes, you were in it. At that point, I started following both you and Jamie. Not for the surfing, but what you both are as incredible humans. So, while you think your episodes are about surfing, but in reality its much deeper than that. This setback is only temporary. And while you can't surf, I'm more than happy to watch your daily life (along with Denny boy). A day in the life of Maki vlog would be awesome as well.
650 for an MRI is a good deal man, usually more like 1000-1800 range. I have had a few.
I don't do high risk surfing. I am just an older man that loves to boogie board surf the beaches of Anastasia Island. Surfing is just for fun. If you make a career out of it, you are living on the edge. Hang in there Ben, 6 months is not long at all. Find the silver lining behind the clouds and know that the Sun is always shining somewhere. The great spirit in the sky has life lessons you must learn.
Ben Gravy "cruise out the back"? In what reality??? LOL! The length of time they've got you in casts & braces is really short comparatively. You've got this! Remember it's just a process. Six weeks after heart surgery they said I could start doing my morning floor pop ups again. I tried but had to crawl up from the floor LOL! So I started doing pushups off the wall working further & further away as I got stronger.. It came back pretty quickly and that's without the expert help you've got. Surfing is awesome but whatever you want to share with us is fine! Give Jamie & Tina my best wishes for many years of happiness!
Rest, recovery and rehab, no excuses!! Do ya effing rehab. My shoulder has never been right because I didn't do enough rehab. Take your time, you'll be fine, best wishes and prayers 🙏🙏🙏.
Maybe you can begin to change your total focus on you surfing toward helping others? As I've gotten older and been less able to go skateboarding, I turned more to surfing, but now I'm sort of aging out of that, but what has given me a lot of joy us building DIY concrete skate spots. Essentially setting things up for the younger generations to help make their journies easier.
I am so sick of these Insurance companies.
Dealing with injuries are the worst... No doubt you'll come back stronger brother 🙏🏽
Hope all is well wishing you the best !! Keep Pushing. !! Nub Nation for the win ❤
Listening to you talk as you walked out of the Doctor's office helps me so much and lifts my spirits. Thank you.
I know how you feel, I’m just getting back into surfing after 3 years break,and I’ve strained the muscles on my inner thigh left leg, just from sitting on my wide long board,not as bad as yours but using the clutch on my car worsened it to the point of agony just getting out of bed, limping around with a broomstick.You have to deal with the pain and the inability to surf.Just when I was getting over it I started driving my car again and the pain is back as bad as ever. Good luck with your injury!!
That cast walk’n talk was real. BTW we watch and love you for the humor more than the waves. There are a tons of surf vloggers out there but you’re genuine positivity is unlike anything else on the tube.
❤ their accents too. Stinkin' adorable couple 😂
Big Dog. I'm always gonna watch everything you put out. Proud of you.
Heal up Ben! I’m in cast as well! Waiting to get into a walking boot. For the dream! 😀🎉😊
You know what is brutal? Cancer. I got something chronic lymphatic leukemia. No cure. Quit your complaining and be thankful you will be ok.
I pull for your family,, not drinking alcohol ✔️ is to be respected, not a novelty. Living the Dream? Ok call it that,but just living well without alcohol just takes work. We see you lil brother, we appreciate you lil brother. Good wife, good Dog ( Dennis) and good friends, way to represent ✔️my stoke for you includes your surfing.
This seriously hit home for me. At 52 I just tore my distal bicep the same way on small surf at Venice S Jetty. I decided not to have surgery. Thanks for sharing your journey Ben.
I did the exact same thing at the same wave this past February! Gnarly coincidence.
@@Bruhmemes808 I'm an xray tech and work the equipment in surgery. All the surgeons said they can fix it but I'll do it again. So I chose therapy and it looks retarded but the strength is coming back.
It's all good, we are on this amazing journey with you, no coincidences in this "accident" This is God's way of protecting you from something even worse that would have happened...All will be well
As someone who is getting older and been through a lot of injury, I now realize how important it is to work on total body strength. You bounced back so quickly last time you just went straight to surfing. Would be so good for you to continue working on the things you're doing with the rest of your body. Total body strengthening is the key to longevity and preventing injury when you get older my friend. Look what it did for Fanning. And you know we won't leave you, quit stressing that one. I think you already know your fans are different than most
Pulling for you!! In a couple months you will be scoring barreling again!!
Ben even if you get into growing efible mushrooms as an alternative career I would still watch your channel; there's something about your attitude in the videos that makes them fun and you're knowledgeable about alot of things you share on them . That could apply to many things other than surfing...but I look forward to you being in the water again.
Now Ben Gravy is gonna be like Makki Films with legendary comments !! Legends is going to be Legends!!! NUB Nation For the Win!!!
Yarn!
Grap the camera, do your thing, we’ll be here watching.
What insurance company do or did you have so we viewers can avoid and or cancel our policies with that company.
Live in the gym you’ll be just fine ! Get strong 💪🏼🤙🏼
Your awsome made my day thanks ben you do good for so many people making these videos
Ben, I'm with you every step of the journey, in sickness and in health! You are a walking talking inspiration to keep pushing forward with the goal of enjoying the experience that is life. This subscriber is not going anywhere.
Get better soon brother!! Hellish injury for sure!! At least Jordan got her dream vacation. Love you man!! It’s about you not the surfing.
The scars of life make us MORE human.
Dang I really thought A Frame was making it out of that barrel
Bro I tore my tendon of my bicep last week. Just had surgery today with your boy from rothman. Rewatching your recovery videos for stoke. Hope your feeling 100 percent. Been following ya for 6 years. Can't wait to surf and work again. I'm a p.a. guy.
@@stevenknouse19 good luck with your recovery!
Stay strong Ben! We're with you!
Looks like you're on the mend.
Yeeeeewwwwww!!!!!!
Good Luck Dude. Glad to see your healing. BTW I wouldn't throw videos of you driving with a sling then driving with your knees. Kinda something you don't want to just throw out there. And why can't someone else drive. Anyway, Have A Great Day.
That's what I was thinking. Probably something I would have done, but maybe not on video 😆 insurance companies love that stuff
stay patient gravy 🤙
Wish you heal quikly Ben we miss you and your surf
Salutation from Morocco
This is a test you will pass.
Hi Ben and Jordan, my bride of 35 years and I tuned into to you a while ago and have been throughly entertained and inspired. Our passion is marriage and loved seeing you two marry each other. We've traveled the world encouraging mind blowing marriages. We sent you a book when you got married about the Enneagram which is our first tool we teach. Might be a good read for you two while your healing.
Did he send you a reply to say thank you
For the dream man, you'll do fine, bro.
Dude, just review surfing clips... Bet we still watch those...
but then again
I don't even surf...
Get well soon brother 💯 I'm on the injured list too right now. Fricken bummed
I injured myself surfing and had a six month recovery. Biggest mistake is to not go to the beach and watch the surf. Go film and interview other surfers. Make a podcast. Whatever... you got this....
Nice reflection on reality Ben . Family ,Friends & Health.🍍🍍🍍
Looks like you have enough content to start your Surgery Channel... Wishing you a full and uneventful recovery, Ben.
of course we're going to keep on watching!! But in the meantime fire the podcast back up, I really miss those behind the scenes talks, etc. You are the Dream King!! YEEW!! 🏄♂🌊🤙😎

Looking great Ben!❤️🤙 You looked happy @ JOB's wedding.🎉 You're always in great spirits. Keep it up!🙏 I just saw you surfing the Great Lakes. What a fun life!
Why a'm I not at all surprised that insurance wouldn't pay ...... hmmmmmmm p.s as a filmer you make a better surfer 😂😂😂
Props for mentioning it being a first world problem. Perspective is important and whining doesn't fix anything. Good lad.
Nice post thanks, worst part will be watching so many great waves go by , might have to concentrate on posting Dennis doing Dennis crazy stuff
👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤟🏼🖖🏼
I’m here for the recovery too!
My surfing injuries Two shoulder surgeries, torn subscapularus and another subscapularus with upper head bicep tendon full tear.
One torn Acl
Blown eardrum.
Many fin lacerations
The "Nub Nation" will always be here for you!!!🤙We'll watch whatever content you put out.
Listen man, I'm the doctor to Mr Pibb. And he had this same surgery. He fully recovered by drinking Pepsi, and chasing it with Ginger Ale. If anyone gives u lip about it tell them 2 mellow yellow out!!! 4 reel tho, get better soon, lov the vlogs, all ursubs are praying and pullin 4 ya...OUT!!!
Eish mr Gravy.....sucks beyond belief. Im a 49 year old swimming pool builder, tried to be a hero....yanked on heavy sand filter and blew my shoulder. Had a shoulder surgery 8 months back and @ around 90 % but have not paddled out yet. Tried 2 months back but it was a S*%^T show. Any way Ben. You will make it through and will have good and bad days. Your Fan base is here because you just the most rad dude to hang out with.... Surf no surf! The El Capitan is wounded in action no doubt the Gravy Navy will step up and support! sending good vibes from Capetown South Africa waiting for you to come for a braai and check our waves. Pull in....
Thanks for the update, been thinking about you, youll be amazed how fast 6 months go by, embrace rehab!
Hey brother
Neighbor Jackie's son I need to talk to you I'm getting back in water after 15 years of no cold water ilu
You could become a professional armwrestler in the meantime! Those videos would definitely work as well 😅
Nice cast. You need time to rest let your arm heel. Then put everything in to physical therapy stay positive you will be back before you know it. Had full hip replacement in October just went back to cleaning pool's and felling good. Recovery takes time do what they say all good. Good luck. Be back shredding soon. Late.
We'll keep watching brother don't worry. We tune in to see Ben Gravy. We can go anywhere for just surfing content. Keep healing. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
When I hurt my elbow, they said cast or brace, I opted for cast because I'm active and I can't fuxk up a hard cast.
Hey Ben! Sometimes things don't happen to you. They happen for you. It's hard to see that when you're in the midst of struggles like this. Visualize what your life will be like when you come out the other side of this. Cherish the challenge, dude! You're doing great.
Hi Ben! Be patient with your injury and enjoy the down time. Great idea to keep busy and support your buddies by filming them out there. Love your style, keep up the great work.
Why don’t you just chill out my guy
-Commander Zander-
Ben, we love you, and nobody is going anywhere. Your humanity is a major reason why people tune in. Now might be a good time to showcase your talented video crew and your great friends and colleagues ( Brett, Rob, Jamie, and your favorite big wave warrior from New York). You may also want to investigate some secret offshore slabs, reefs etc. just some suggestions. We appreciate you more than you’ll ever know!
When i was in my early 20s i slammed on a bicycle after a nite partying the band Imner Circle was in Naples FL and all the crew was there raging (many years ago) ,,, I was riding home with my bro and slammed breaking my collar bone!!! My buddy kept going to get his VW Bus n come back for me but after a little bit i came too and said i need to gtfo b4 the cops find me drunk on the side of the road ,,,So i peddled home with 1 arm drunk and it sucked every bump hurt but i made it home around 3am!! Emergency room the next morning and yes a broken collar bone,,,I was in a brace and sling for 3mos definitely lost all my 💪 in that arm / shoulder and recovery after was brutal it took mos and i felt it for a couple years,,,When i finally did get back to the gym after a few mos i was lifting the bar but slowly very slowly i got my mobility n 💪back and came back better then ever !!! I have always worked out and i think thats the best thing u can do Gravy is workout as much as u can without using that injured arm ,,,Walking is great too stay as active as u can and u will bounce back 💯 💪🌊🤙
Few years ago when I blew my latest knee out I was a day home from surgery...teetering on the edge mentally.
You came up on RUclips talking about your journey and your mindset.
You were there as a champion of possibilities in a time where it's hard to see em.
You'll be back you've never really left.)
heal up and stay focused...jordan and dennis got your back
Hello Ben, consider the following. Kelly slater broke his leg, that guy broke his back at Nazareth. Then there is Bethany Hamilton ( i knew bethany before she was born)she had her arm bite off at dumbstruck. Dumptrucks, what a wave that is,I got the wave of the day barrel in the summer of 88. So, here is my summation, you will go through all the rehab it takes to get back in the water. Your vlogs of recapping well be inspiring to all the other surfers who have and will get injured this year and years to come. Most people do not understand how dangerous surfing is.
Hey Ben, you can go full Beth Hamilton! greetings from Denmark
Dude, MRIs in Melbourne Florida are like 150 cash you don't use Insurance you can get in the same day! Screw Insurance it sucks
... Seems to be going Ok' - Thanks for the Update... Doctors' will always err' on the side of caution, 6-months is the safe call. I don't think Cap'n Gravy plays it "safe" very often. I'd bet you're paddling around a bit in 3 months (or less) - you'll know how and when to ramp it up from there... Keep Rockin' the Free World
If you think about it a wetsuit is a neoprene type brase and is supportive .
The injury is surprising as in surfing there is not allot of bicep action . I don't remember my biceps burning during surfing . Shoulders and back yes .
You may have set this up doing another activity and just finally popped even while surfing .
Thank you for letting us into your crazy, fun, exciting life, we love watching your story no matter where it takes us all.
Love you too Ben! Enjoy the down time…we’ll stick with you for sure. The nub nation is in it for the long haul!
Big Ben ...whenyou get a chance listen to the song by the band Bush , album sixteenstone , song- Straight no chaser .
I’m a glass kind of full guy ….. and the last time you got injured you got Dennis! So it’ll all work out!good luck nub nation for the win
In case they didn't tell you, rotate your shoulder joint on a regular basis, every day. Otherwise it can freeze up with scar tissue in the socket. This happened to me when I broke my arms and no one told me about the shoulder issue. PT is painful and unnecessary.
Wow, you're so fortunate and you're definitely young enough to make a full recovery. Maybe consider there's a lot of things happen to people that they don't have the kind of support structure that you have. You're going to be fine stop the whine, use this opportunity to come back stronger I know you've got tons of people trying to give you advice and encouragement along the way, but this is just another brick in the wall of Life man, you are lucky. Seems like you're still kind of trying to fight the reality, layoff driving with one arm just listen to the doctors and when you get a chance to start physical therapy go out at 100%. You're dropping videos that are old, bring everybody up to speed in the actual timeline that's going on right now. What's been going on in the last 3 weeks or are you just too frustrated to share, come on man you got this
Love to see your recovery Ben, I have had 2 full distal ruptures (both arms) of the bicep. I choose not to have surgery but it’s all about how much you want to be better. I think you will get over this and back to being better.
Most pro athletes are retired from their sport at your age. You’ll be back surfing and doing it for decades to come. Find another challenge for now.
Ben...you are blessed, you have been blessed and you will continue to be blessed. You have helped many others on their positive journey in life and this is just a little "speed bump" for you. I see you are staying active and are keeping the blood flowing. That is VERY important in the healing process...good on ya! I'll take your new role as a cameraman...you know what to look for because you are always on the other end...I might start watching you again Ben. I need a little "pump" before my season starts anyhow. Besides, Lucas Hildreth didn't post a video that I can see today so here I am. BTW he just got back from almost a month in Iceland and is now in Morocco! Remember him? You've met him...he's from NY...just up the coast from you! Anyhow, take care, heal and continue to be grateful. God Bless, John
Been through 2 shoulder reconstruction s, know how ya feel, just don't feed us the wah wah wah
Thanks for sharing your journey! I haven’t been able to surf last 2 seasons due to major ligament tears in foot not healing right. I hope you have a speedy recovery. The mental part is the hardest and staying positive is the most important. Your vlogs keep me stoked!

I love the attitude Brother you're gonna crush the rehab and be back in the water by summer. Keep up the stoke 🤙
if you can fall on it after the cast if off.... you can skate... yeah?? get d-Bag back on the vLog... hit the skateparks hard!!
Every doc has a different protocol, but I had a cast for 2 weeks, then they cut the cast in half, and I wore the bottom half with an ace bandage wrap for two weeks, then I got the brace for six weeks. Of all three, the splint cast was the best. The brace kinda sucks.
don't stress ben. you're all good. we'll keep watching your stuff if you keep making it. get creative!
We love you Ben! Film different adventures, were gonna stay tuned either way.
I feel your pain and frustration Brother, I’ve just had a lung blow out and no idea how long I’ll be out of the water or if I’ll even be able to again. Chin up, keep on keeping on Bro!
Bummer you didn't heed my advice and see Dr. Shin in Haddonfield.
Rest up Man, use your other talents in the meantime. Write some songs maybe.. i wanna hear some karaoke gravy! Heheeeh
Don't feel so bad Ben, I've been out of the water for 1 year due to a bad injury and it's a mental strength test for sure. I have about 3 more months to go and then hopefully I can get back into the water.
Your attitude to life is so good 👏🏻 But dude! Don't drive and wave your only hand on the wheel at us!! 😉😂✌🏻
Nice recovery Ben. You catch those waves so many times, that we can see you inside that barrel, as if you where there.!
LIKE THIS. for bens fast recovery
You got this Ben!!!🤙 Nub Nation, YEW!!
I will always watch your vids, whether you are surfing or not.
