My doc said after my last operation that my tricep was still alive, and that perhaps it will work in the future. Since then I noticed that whenever I tried to extend my wrist my tricep and latissimus muscle would bulge up. The other day I tried using my triceps in a way that supports my arm, so that extent of gravity is weakened. I was able to get my arm to move down.
I'm 100% sure that it was only my tricep though.
Is there a definitive test that can prove that my tricep is working?

I have always had an EMG to see whats owring and what is not. It really is a funny thing with this BPI! I will think I have a new muscle working but it really is just an old muscle performing a new task! haha Best of luck! Check it ou!
