So I had my second revision surgery last tuesday under local, and I have been pretty swollen since, though it has gotten a little better every day. I have had what seems to be a large collection of blood with a possiblye jelly-like feel where the glandular tissue was removed. Anywho, I worked out my chest today at about 85% weight and about ten minutes into my lifting, when I started getting a good pump, I noticed that the swelling improved dramatically and almost completely. Has anyone else had this experience. I think that pumping blood through my chest must have cleaned out the stagnant hematoma.
Also
Surgery was kind of cool because I could kind of feel the doc tugging and then cutting the gland and it made a beautiful noise. It wasn't an uncomfortable feeling, I could just feel a tug. So I wanted to watch the doc actually cut out the tissue this time, so I kept my glasses on and snuck a few peeks at the gland. After surgery, the doc threw everything into the trash and left me to change my clothes. This may sound weird, but I have always wanted to see what had caused so much pain in my life. So I did it. I put on some gloves that were in the office, looked in the trash, and played with the tissue for a minute. I almost put it in my water bottle so I could take it with me and have some sort of ceremonial disposal. But, I thought that was a little kreepy so I left the pieces in the trash.

Funniest post ive ever read ... well the last paragraph any way where you say you played with the tissue LOOL!
-
lmao I totally fucking agree
pour it in oil and watch it fucking burn, it's so pointless and useless and degrading
I can understand why u hate it so much

Yeah, it was kind of neat seeing what was under there. I usually have a weak stomach for those types of things but my hatred for gynecomastia overpowered that.
I have never heard anyone recommend lifting weights to clear swelling or flush stagnant blood away. I would like to get a doctor's take on this. As soon as I started benching, just a week after surgery, the swelling almost completely disappeared. I had almost a golf ball size amount of blood just before benching, then minutes later it was gone and it never came back.

Its great that it went away - nice one....
Doesn't heavy weight training go against recommended time after healing though? I am not sure I would have had the energy tbh...
-
How many sets\reps did you do for bench? Also, how much weight was it? Has the hematoma come back?
-
About 100 reps. 50 flat and 50 incline. I didn't bench with a straight bar. Just did dumbell presses with probably 75lb flat and 60 or so incline. I wanted to see what would happen if I pumped some blood through my pecs and, like I said, my rock hard stagnant hematoma the size of a golf ball was gone in minutes. The hematoma never came back. My doc actually told me I could get back to the gym in about a week and a half.

That's great to hear. My doctor told me I can't work out for about six weeks. I feel fine now and really want to hit the gym, but I'll listen to my doc and not rush things. When I first get to the gym, i'll do some high reps first to get some blood flowing in the area. Thanks for the info.
