I'm happy to help, brother. Don't mention it. Sports physiology is my field of interest.
I see your points. Let me put some things in perspective
Bummer - I was really hoping, that although the tear is bordering a complete tear, that with your information from you original post of fractured hips healing from MK-677, that possibly the UCL would respond more favorable
MK-677 would help accelerate wound healing and bone matrix healing - correct. However, your injury is one that on its own right would not heal completely without some sort of procedure. When you break a bone, if it's not a compound fracture - the body would eventually heal it on its own. The body cannot, however, reattach tendons. And since MK-677 supports the naturally occurring systems in the body, it simply cannot magically staple your medial elbow along the epicondyle ridges... Just the way it is.
I almost wonder if the very quick increase in strength may have contributed to the tear, as the ligaments / tendons may not be able to adapt quick enough to great increases in stress
I see how you would wonder about this. However, do not worry, that is not the case. These SARM compounds cannot cause synthesis of muscle that would potentially destroy its supporting framework. Irrespective, your muscles, and anyone's muscle, without any compounds, actually have the ability to contract so forcefully that they can tear the ligaments and tendons. We see this sometimes when people take PCP and their muscles contract so powerfully they shear off the bone.
in this case - valgus torque on the elbow
The Valgus orientation of force generation over time is very common amongst baseball players. You're not the only one going through this, I'm sure you know. You're in good company
I will continue with the stem cell, and PRP (I have one more treatment, then begin rehab, and back to throwing program)
The PRP is a great treatment modality, and for many athletes it works, if I got my bearings right (I don't practice in the US) it's not covered by most insurance programs. Definitely finish it, if you'd like to opt for the operation - it would be potentially beneficial to have undergone the PRP prior.
I will find out if autograph of my Palmaris Longus (I don't know what that is to know if I have one!) or from cadaver....I am assuming one is better than the other?
- The Palmaris Longus is a vestigial muscle with one of the longest attachment tendons out there. It's seen mainly in feline mammals. We - don't have any use for it. Between 30%-50% have it. If you want to know if you have it, take both palms (one may have it while the other don't) take your pinky and thumb and press them together tightly. The tendon of the palmaris longus would be a buldging band that rises along the centre of the volar wrist (a flexion tendon)
- An autograph is always better since there's no worries for rejection, if such an option doesn't exist, your surgeon would supply alternatives
The MRI
It's of poor quality, but it seems that the T2 weighed MRI you sent shows an intra-articular contrast extending below the attachment of the anterior bundle to the base of the coronoid process. A common abnormality indicating a partial-thickness tear of the ulnar collateral ligament. I also see the outline of irregularity and poor definition of the ligament and abnormal signal intensity within and surrounding the ligament, which is an almost tear like picture. The pic s of poor quality, and also I'm not a radiologist, just a goddamn genius lol
You'll be snapping them fastballs in notime. Just take it easy and keep consulting your physician.
