@@Laz10777 I am over 3 years out now and I feel totally normal. Don’t think about it anymore. I am lifting more than ever and I actually have worked out on my heavy bag for over a year and throwing punches and stuff doesn’t even bug me. I will say it took at least a year to feel totally normal. I never did my muscle back in my hand though.

@@billct657 my elbow is fine and I don’t have any tingling or anything. I’m as strong as I ever was and lifting more than I ever have. The muscle did not come back in my hand though. It had wasted too much I suppose.

@@kevinjames5116 good recovery Sorry about your muscle Thanks for your response

Kevin how long were you symptomatic before you had surgery? Thank you

@@billct657 well that’s a good question. I’m not really sure. I had pain in that elbow for a few years before. I am not sure when the muscle started wasting. I don’t take a lot of pictures of myself so it was hard to go back and see. I think the muscle was wasting about a year before surgery.

@@kevinjames5116 yeah cause I’m dealing with it myself…symptomatic since about January/February this year… Tingling pinky/ achy burning in elbow probably 5-6 months…surgery scheduled for October 4th….back of hand and forearm a little numb probably the past 4 months…EMG finding was mild/moderate+…..

@@juniscitozi9549 my muscle in my hand never did come back. Elbow is good though. No pain at all and I’m lifting more than ever.

Hello, I’m not really sure. Looking back on pictures. It looks like my muscle was wasting away over the course of about three years or so. It has not come back by the way. But I still have great functionality in my left hand there just is an indent in that area where the muscle should be and my left hand is not as muscular as my right hand is. I think my left hand is just as strong as my right hand though.

Lolol

No I’ve never had that.

I’m doing OK. My arm is completely healed but the muscle that I had lost in my head and never did come back. But I have no tingling or numbness or anything in my hand. I suppose I should make a new video but my wife divorced me out of nowhere a few months ago and it’s been a hell of a time on me. Good luck on your surgery.

Happy to hear your arm has healed and I'm sorry to hear about your marriage. Do your best to take care of yourself. Like every difficult life change, it will get easier with time.

@@teachingincontext thank you. 15 years and over just like that. It’s been hard. Good luck.

After 6 weeks I was able to do light duty. I think 10 pound restriction.

21385

It should go away. I don’t get that. Was yours sub cutaneous or sub muscular?

Yes I did get an MRI with the contrast fluid injected. That was mostly just to rule out any other neurological causes because my nerve test didn’t confirm cubital tunnel syndrome. So the MRI didn’t show anything abnormal.

@@kevinjames5116 so, did you have an e m g?

@@ErinM-2024 I believe that is what they called the nerve test. Not 100% sure though.

You will get there. I am well over a year removed from the surgery now. I should post an update soon. Really have no change in my muscle in my hand. It still seems the same as in these videos. Grip strength is good. I still favor my arm sometimes. I can do everything I need to, but I still think about the arm when I do it.

Thank you Tony. I’m close to Bloomington IL not Indiana. Anyway yes the mower is easy to roll backwards after you have let off the personal pace handle. The personal pace system is very nice and very intuitive. I find it a joy to walk behind. I had read somewhere there were some people having a hard time pulling it backwards and toro told them to just push it forward to release the drive then pull back, however I haven’t had any trouble with that.

@@kevinjames5116 Thank you Kevin for the kindness of a reply and with the answer to my question. Very nice mower & glad it's easy to roll backwards. (Have some obstacles [trees & shrubbery at our place). Please keep safe. God[Bible] Bless. tonyd\.

Yes the plug stays in when mulching. It has a tab that you rotate to lock it in and to remove it. Dead grass does build up in the plug. It doesn’t hurt performance but I usually take the plug out and clear out the grass once a month.

@@kevinjames5116 Awesome thanks for the reply. I have that mower but have never used the mulch feature yet.

@@mikewright9547 cool. I exclusively mulch with it. I have never used the bagger or side discharged. It does such a good job chopping stuff up fine I have never needed to do anything but mulch and I like mulching because it’s much faster and easier.

@@kevinjames5116 I mulched today and your right, way easier and cleaner than bagging. That mulched really works well.

@@mikewright9547 great! Yes I don’t bag ever. Even in the spring. That’s the point of the super recycler is that you’re putting the clippings back into your soil to give it nutrients. Some people bag because if they don’t their mower leaves clippings everywhere but with this mower you don’t have to.

Awesome. I think you’ll be happy with it. The model that I have (21385) is no longer available (on Toros website anyway.) You probably could find some held over online maybe. The website does still list the 21382, which is essentially the same model I have but with a Honda engine. It doesn’t appear that they make them with a Toro brand engine anymore. All the new versions with the vortex air intake system have Briggs & Stratton engines on them. The new vortex design looks very cool, it would just be a matter of if you got a good Briggs or not.

Awesome!! I do too. Been very happy with it.

Wow that is a lot to endure. Good luck to you on your surgeries and hopefully you will recover quickly and get some relief.

How are you doing now?

We are getting close to lush grass cutting time with our Toros!!

Yes I really enjoy mine. I have no need for electric start but know others do. I see now the new designed super recyclers run Briggs engines exclusively.

Yeah the interesting thing is the salesman actually said that this toro branded engine would be easier to get parts for. But as you said looking at the toro website they don’t make a super recycler with a toro branded engine anymore. They are all Briggs or they have the older model like mine with the Honda. I do like the looks of the new one with the vortex system and like the new wheels.

@@kevinjames5116 My dilemma is the person I am buying for needs electric start, and it needs to be simple. Toro - No electric start with SpinStop, and it doesn't have an alternator which means she would have to be near a plug, not a shed, to plug it in to recharge. You have to start it every time you pick up a stick or empty the bag. The only one with a good combination is the 30" Timemaster, which is a 150 lb. monster. Honda - Electric start and blade stop are available as a combination, but then you are stuck with their hydrostatic drive system with a throttle, fixed speed settings, and two bails to hold down, and when you engage the bail it is jump and go or stop, like a cheap mower, except it uses an expensive and inefficient hydraulic motor and pump propulsion system, which is ridiculous. It also has a plastic deck rather than aluminum like the Toro. Motors - The Honda and a good Briggs are equals and parts are more available and cheaper for the Briggs. Fortunately Honda quit putting OHCs on their mowers, so it isn't as bad as it used to be.

@@jackt6112 yes my father-in-law just bought that expensive Honda 217 with the spin stop and the two different bales in the fixed speed control. I looked at it. I’m not sure he’s going to like that speed control where it is. Looks to me like it would be very inconvenient.

@@kevinjames5116 Exactly! The first question the Honda dealer should ask people is, "Is your car and automatic or a stick?" The second question should be, "Do prefer a mower that adjust to your pace and conditions or one with fixed speeds that dictates a constant pace independent of where you are mowing?" The drive system on them might be complex and reliable but it is technology not well suited to the purpose.

Thank you for the kind words. I am able to straighten my arm all the way out now. It has been a process though and I feel like I still carry that arm a little higher than my right. I coach basketball and while watching film of our games I noticed that I was not straightening out all the way. So I have tried to do stretches with holding it flat out in front of me and being aware of making sure I’m straightening it out when walking. If you are only 2 weeks out it will take a while to get that range of motion but you will get there!!

Shoot, hope everything is ok…thanks for sharing. Yes I really just think pull-ups sound like a bad idea for me. As I said I never liked doing them anyway. As you know my arm feels good, but not 100% normal yet, and that just doesn’t seem like something I’d want to try. I’ll stay away from them.

what problems did pull-ups cause you? i may have this surgery, but I like doing pull-ups a lot.

@@skeletopedia3122 I haven’t done them since the surgery. The commenter above said he had and it caused problems. As I said I never cared for doing pull-ups anyway. I prefer bicep curls and push-ups.

@@skeletopedia3122 it caused a weird pain sensation in my forearm and at the elbow like an impingement if you are familiar with what that is. For a couple weeks I felt like there was a bunch of pressure at my elbow. I haven’t done pull ups since then but have done every other lift without problems. Doing the pull ups just puts a large amount of stress on your elbow

Good luck with the surgery. Don’t be scared. You can handle it. It is a long road to recovery, but the pain wasn’t bad. Hopefully it will help you. My grip strength was really never affected.

I had a nerve test done before surgery. It didn’t confirm cubital tunnel syndrome, but it is common to not show it in 20% of cases even when compression at elbow is present. My surgeon did do a physical exam before surgery and had me push and pull against him with various parts of my arm and hand. He said he didn’t see any signs of compression at shoulder or wrist. My grip strength is very good, it was good before the surgery. I never had any weakness in grip.

@@kevinjames5116 luckily no weakness in grip. Do u continue to make progress video’s?

@@youtubes4612 I will probably not make progress videos. Certainly not for another 3 months. I will make one if something changes significantly in my hand. Hopefully it does for the positive.

@@kevinjames5116 I understand. Keep staying positive sir. Appreciate the effort u put in the videos.

No restrictions on running the Toro super recycler. Glad I can run that machine.

@@kevinjames5116 👍👍👍👍

Good luck! That’s why I made it. Couldn’t find too many videos of submuscular. Mostly sub cutaneous.

@@kevinjames5116 why did your doctor go for submuscular and not more common subcutaneous?

@@florinho1994 my surgeon said he believed my arms were too lean to do sub cutaneous. He felt that the nerve would be getting bumped frequently if it was right under my skin.

Awesome. I seriously considered the one with the Honda. Went back and forth and my dealer had both. As I said the salesman kind of steered me toward the Toro branded engine. I don’t think you could go wrong with either one, but I’d stay away from the Briggs engine, the reviews aren’t great on it.

Hello, not too much different. I’d say my muscle recovery in my left hand hasn’t improved much since this video, maybe a bit. Continuing to gain strength in my arm and it’s feeling more normal. I plan to do a 5 month video soon.

My primary symptom was the muscle loss in my hand. That was what led me to know that something was really wrong with my nerve. I did have pain in my left elbow for three or four years prior to the surgery. I thought it was just ligament and tendon pain, but I think it was actually the nerve being compressed. I did have numbness sometimes but the tingling and numbness was not my primary concern and I could’ve lived with that.

Hello. Great video, very educational. You said you had muscle loss in your hand but a normal EMG, I've also experienced this, just came out of a submuscular transposition 10 days ago. Do you feel like the surgery helped with pain and tingling? Did it halt the progress of your muscle atrophy? Thank you.@@kevinjames5116

No there is no snapping because the nerve is now embedded in the muscle above the medial epicondyle.

Okay. I had a subq transfer and some of the triceps cut because it was snapping as well however i still have snapping and doc said he is going to interlance the medial tricep completely to cut off any chance and I am wondering if the nerve also snaps because I def feel some sort of snapping there still, no real change. He said he doesn't care to do muscular transfer as well if it will satisfy me. Just wondering if it will work. Is there any way to contact you? Like to do videochat and talk easily

@@AlcatrazMeow no real easy way to video or anything. There are muscles and stuff that run along the medial epicondyle and along the back of your elbow there. As I feel there when I move my elbow back-and-forth I can feel those moving a bit. But it is not the nerve as it is not big enough to be the nerve and I don’t feel any tingling down my arm whenever I touch it. It’s something in the muscles that moves around in there but I can feel that on the other side as well. So maybe you’re feeling that.

Yes that is what my salesman said about the Toro branded engine being good, and online research backs that up. He actually recommended the Toro engine over the Honda. I have read bad things about the Briggs engines sputtering a lot.

My surgeon had me immobilized in a splint for 2 weeks. After that splint was removed and I was able to move freely as much as I could but was supposed to lift no weight with my arm. That was weeks 2-6 post op. After 6 weeks he said 5 pound limit.

@@kevinjames5116 thanks for the response, When did u have ur first symptoms and what were the symtoms before surgery?

@@youtubes4612 I had a pain in my elbow for a couple years before surgery. Biggest problem was the muscle wasting in my hand. If you watch my first video after the surgery I explain that. Not sure if muscle is coming back or not. I think it’s trying.

@@kevinjames5116its take atleast a year what i have heard to get the muscle back, great that u already notice an inprovement. Ur video’s are valuable for the people that got the surgery done or in the near future.

@@youtubes4612 thank you very much. If it can help someone that’s what I made the videos for.

I would not say I have it few times a day, but I do occasionally have days where it is more numb than others. It not bad though. It’s not a daily thing for sure. Good luck.

Yeah I talked to my dealer and he said he ordered a bunch last fall so he had them for this year. That’s how I got it. I just don’t know why toro continues to list this model on their website if it’s discontinued.

Oh yes sorry I meant to mention that. I had one formal PT session about 4 weeks ago. I was advanced past what they would’ve done with me so I didn’t go again. So basically I didn’t need it.

Understood. Good to know plus there is a ton of good info here. Thanks!

Had my ulnar submuscular transposition and medial epicondyle debridement on right arm done Wednesday. No sling. Took bandage off this a.m.; and now wrist lacer wrist and foreman support will remain for 4 weeks. Wants that elbow moving immediately. Left one done 6/29 subcutaneous method. That one doing well. Played round of golf at 3 weeks and began lifting routine at same time at ~20% of what I had been doing. Left side guidance; let pain be your guide. Right side obviously different ballgame. The 5# limit at least first 4 weeks. Carpal tunnel done at same time both sides. Fascinating different surgeons, different guidance, same procedure. Happens all the time.

Should have said left one subcutaneous transposition. How is the muscle atrophy looking? Still early though.

@@JDBGL yes I do think surgeons differ a lot. I think my surgeon was very conservative and keeps people immobilized longer than most. His Nurse told me the other surgeon there takes his patients out of splint after 4 days. But as you said just listen to your individual Dr.

I will do an update soon. I am at 3 months now. I feel like I am seeing the muscle coming back a bit. It is still indented but I have gotten stronger with it and when I flex it I can actually see it firing. My surgeon says he’s optimistic that it will continue to show improvements. Finger crossed and I keep praying about it. But yes I will do an update soon.

"I feel like I am seeing the muscle coming back a bit". I hope you're right for both of us. :) Regarding the bump on the inside of the elbow, I assume that is the relocated ulnar which I'll be asking about in 2 days.

@@JDBGL yes the bump has gotten better but is still there. Surgeon told me that’s where he started to bury the nerve. I just posted a new video. Wearing same shirt as the old video but it’s new I promise. Lol.

Thank you! How do you like the 60V for power? How’s the run time? I’m curious about that.

@@kevinjames5116 I decided to give it a stress test last night actually. I have been getting dumped on for the last 2 weeks and another week of water coming.. my lawn was gross. threw the preformance blade on.. and it did a flawless job both bagging and mulching (i bag my front yard and mulch the rear) I live on 1/ acre lot and it did the whole job with 1 bar on the battery remaining. I recently sold my Toro commercial 21inch #22197 and switched to this.. very very happy

I don’t really know the answer to that question sorry. My yard here in town is not hilly. It is a rear wheel drive mower and it’s pretty light, so I would think it would do well, but can’t say for sure.

Yes, very well!

Awesome. What attachments would you be most interested in for the multi force? Besides the awesome turbo force deck!!

@@kevinjames5116 well I think the aerator and maybe a dethatcher attachment. However I have heard somewhere that the power broom could be used for for dethaching and brush snow, so maybe the power broom. I could use that for snow on my personal driveway.

Thanks. That makes sense. Had never thought of it like that.

Good advice. Makes sense I hadn't thought of that either

That could very well be the case. I know toro still shows it on their website, but I did see a couple online sites said it was discontinued. I bought from the dealer to support them locally and because they had it, but if a local dealer doesn’t have it you could buy it online. I found it here at this site just a bit ago searching. shop.procorepower.com/toro-21-personal-pace-super-recycler-mower-21385/ Good luck.

Yes I have read nothing but good things about their engines. One forum I saw said they txp engine was essentially a clone of the Honda gxv series, which is their commercial grade engine. I think it will be a good engine!

Thanks!! The local Toro dealer has 3 stores around the area. When I talked to them at the end of May he said they had 12 of the 21385 and 11 of the 21382 between their 3 stores. When I actually bought it they were down to 6 or so of each then when they delivered it the next day the guy who delivered it said they’d sold out of them, the 21385 at least. So they went fast! I like it a lot. How do you like the Briggs?

@@kevinjames5116 So far so good with the Briggs, and hoping it stays that way a long while. I know there are lots of cases of surging and cutting out with these engines. Either way, these SRs at $500 are really a great value considering the build quality, materials, and mulching capability compared to pretty much everything else out there. Cast aluminum deck is solid and should last a really long time!

Yes the grass didn’t have much moisture in it. I will have to see how it mulches when the grass gets more moisture.

Will do soon. Might wait till this dry spell is over and I get some thick lush grass for the video mow.
