Torn muscle?
My 17 yr. old son strained shoulder muscles about 5 weeks ago. It happened during wrestling practice and he heard a wet tearing sound…he was in a lot of pain. I took him to ER and they basically just put him in a sling and referred us to ortho. Ortho said he thought there was some fluid in there and put him on anti-inflamitory and PT. He said my son could begin live wrestling again in 10 days. Well, my son was improving, but since he started live wrestling (7 days ago), he is getting worse and worse. Is it too soon for him to return to wrestling? I don’t understand how it can heal if he’s using it and why the ortho told him he could return.
