Very few.
This was my good arm.
Ironically this is likely from a bad car wreck last year, that ended up in a lawsuit where DL attached themselves and got more than I did recouping medical bills and sick leave from my pain/suffering settlement.
And then UMR required me to try "alternative treatments" before approving my surgery, and a known potential side effect of the "alternative treatment" is weakened tendon attachment points. Plus a 6 week min wait after last injection before surgery can be done.
So a 2-3 week out for Tommy John surgery has turned into 6-10 weeks out and three surgeries. The one originally needed, plus two ones where a tendon tore and another detached.
