Torn tricep

Hey guys, long time poster under a different name here. I used to be involved on this forum under a different name. Here we go.
During the summer (July), I was doing barbell skull crushers with 135, sets of 10. Shortly after, I noticed my elbow started flaring up and giving me issues. I continued to train 5x a week and just took advil and used elbow wraps on pressing movements. I was still BB pressing 405+ but with extreme discomfort. I was getting ready to get in competition shape (powerlifting) for 2024. I wanted to make sure my body was good to go so I finally went to the doctor about my elbow. So in December I got checked out and turns out, what I thought was tendonitis, was a complete rupture of my distal tricep tendon. Unreal. I had surgery on Jan 19. I was told I would be about 6-12 months for recovery, however therapy went great and I was fully released about 3 weeks ago.
However, even though I am fully released, I can still tell I am nowhere near 100%. I can barely even bench press 135 now without discomfort i my elbow. Pressing movements are still a long way from being 100%.
Has anybody ever went under this type of injury or know anybody who has? Looking for a light at the end of the tunnel. Even though I am fully relseased back training, I am nowhere near 100%. Wondering how long I can expect until I'm feeling better and moving weight. Thank you in advance,

Did you get to lift as part of your therapy? I ask because a lot of clinics do not actually have proper gym equipment to asses if you are fully prepared to enter the independent phase of rehab. Based on my patient’s goals they are either squatting, deadlifting, benching, overhead pressing, etc. every session to work towards what their goals.

Released =/= recovered
You will probably not be back to your old self until at least 12 months. A torn tricep is an awful injury. Keep at it though, you'll be back to your old self before you know it,. However, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY, the last thing you need to do is re-injure yourself
