What Is The Cause For Burning Pain In The Bottom Of My Tricep Post Tendon Repair Surgery?

during therapy today I felt a real bad burning at the bottom of my tricep where it attaches to my elbow . I had surgery to repair the tricep tendon 10 1/2 wks ago and it was re-attached to elbow at that time. The burning was severe and I can no longer do some arm movements that I could do prior to therapy. I am hoping the burning wasn't me tearing the tendon again. It occurred when I was pushing my, bent arm, against resistance. What do you think

Hi Burning is a sensation which is normally caused by problem with the nerves. It is possibly due to tear of a small nerve which was entrapped into the fibrous tissue ( develops in all cases of injury/ surgery). I would suggest to consult the operating surgeon before you go ahead with.
