torn bicep muscle or tendon

(4 discussions)

can I ask if anyone had any warning signs before the tendon actually tore ?the reason I ask, is that I am feeling pain in what I think is the tendon at the elbow joint. it is beneath the bicep muscle. the funny thing is I can can perform bicep excercises, it generally only hurts when I pick something up. im pretty scared of rupturing a tendon or bicep muscle…. Please advise..cheers

broken scaphoid

(7 discussions)

I broke my scaphoid, and just got my cast off 10 days ago. My student health insurance lapsed, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to pay for P.T. My wrist and hand are very tight, especially when trying to make a fist or bend inward at the wrist. I have shaarp pain in my thumb and wrist area w/ inwards motion. Help! I play piano and do crafts, and really need my range of motion back! Any exercise suggestions would help. Also, what are reasonable expectations for recovery?

ACL Injury question

HelloI recently sustained an ACL injury playing sports. After reading my MRI and testing my knee for stability my OS concluded that good fiber was still in place and that I would not need surgery. He said my knee was hard as rock and I’ll be able to resume my athletic lifestyle after a good rehab program. He also said many people in professional sports have ACL deficient knees. My question to you… is this true? Will I be fine? My knee hasn’t given out, however, I am worried that when I get back to sports it may.Thanks,Gabe
