Arnold Schwarzenegger was seen wearing a bandage on her arm after reportedly undergoing an operation for nerve damage in his elbow last week.
While arriving to his office in Beverly Hills on Saturday, the actor, 76, appeared in high spirits as he returned to business as usual, following treatment for an injury, which allegedly required surgery.
The father-of-five appeared to be taking it easy following the procedure, after TMZ reported that he managed to squeeze in ‘his last workout just hours before his surgery’ on Thursday.
For his laid-back outing, the bodybuilder wore a dark grey shirt, black shorts, matching compression socks and a pair of brown sneakers.

His full-arm bandage, extended from the middle of his upper arm to his wrist.
Earlier this month, the action star and former Governor discussed recovering from his third open heart surgery.
‘I remember when I had my open heart surgery, the third one,’ the FUBAR star said in a YouTube video that is part of his Arnold’s Pump Club, revealing that it took place in 2018, a few months before he was scheduled to begin work on Terminator six.
The film was released as Terminator: Dark Fate in 2019.
The actor revealed he was scheduled for a non-invasive procedure to replace a heart valve, but says when he came to, the doctor admitted it turned into something major.
He says the surgeon told him ‘we made a mistake and poked through the heart wall… and we had to open you up very quickly to save your life.’
After recovering from the shocking news of what he called ‘a disaster,’ Arnold seemed to take the bad news on the chin and focused on next steps.
‘You collect yourself, shift gears and say, “Okay, what I got to do now is I need to get out of this hospital?”‘
His answer was to follow the doctors advice and start walking as soon as possible.

‘The doctor said, “You have to exercise your lungs, because if you get pneumonia, you can die.”‘
The Kindergarten Cop star shared footage as he pushed a walker through the corridors of the hospital wearing yellow non-slip socks and a blue and white hospital gown.
Not wanting to be on his own, the former Governor of California explained, ‘I called my buddies in and I said, “You guys have to fire me up, you have to count the amount of steps that I’m doing.”‘
The video shows the body builder and his pals going through paces slowly as he began to slowly build strength.
‘And so this is what we did every day,’ he said. ‘Everyone came in to the hospital and they said, “Okay Arnold, get up now, let’s go walk the hallway.”
The Expendable star said having a good support system in place was important ‘because none of this we can do by ourselves.’

After he was released from the hospital, Arnold hit the gym to begin training for his health and his upcoming movie role.
The video shows him starting out slowly with some simple curls and then moving on to machines.
‘Three months later, I started with Terminator six, so I had to be in shape.’
The former Mr. Olympia included b-roll from the set showing him working on action scenes as he explained, ‘I had to be able to move around, run around, lift things up, do the fight scenes and all those kinds of things.’
Arnold has also switched to a mostly plant-based diet to protect his heart health.
In a February 2022 newsletter, The Game Changers executive producer asked his vegan fans to send him their favorite recipes.
