I have a sports injury. Im not sure what is wrong exactly, but I need to go to the doctor to figure it out. I think it is a problem with my tendon (I think I might have partially torn it) and my doctor office doesn’t have a sports medicine doctor so I thought an orthopedist might be the right one even though I don’t think it is a bone issue. Any suggestions?

I have pain and a palpable defect on the tendon, however I can extend my knee fully and bear weight on the affected leg. How do I know if it is ruptured? What can I do if it is?

I recived a 3 inch long bone deep laceration to my left wrist. My radial nerve, brachialas muscle, brachialas tendon, and anything from skin to the bone was lacerated. I had surgery for that injury on July 17, 2006 I had the injury on July 12, 2006. Here i am a little over a year after this happen confused whether to trust my lawyer over how I will paid. I would think that I would get money for the traumatic experience along with loss wages. My lawyer is only saying that I will be paid for loss wages from the time that I was hurt and out of work. I think that he is trying to screw me. Can someone please give me some insight on my situation that I need to know about dealing with this type of claim. I have a hearing for October, 25 2007 and he called me saying that the insurance compay is open to settlte but the insurance company did not say a price yet. Does there sound like something is not right?Serious replies only!

Everyone knows that back problems are very common.

We also know that when we weight lift, our muscles get progressively stronger to make up for the its inability to lift the weight last time.

But why don’t our back muscles get ‘progressively stronger’?
When we lift with our back rather than with our legs, and we get injured. isn’t it odd?

Is it that our lower back muscles are so fragile? or is it when we get ‘lower back injury’ due to work/lifting, its not actually the muscle that’s injured but rather a tendon or something?

ive been boxing for a while now and i was in a clench and seemed to pull a muscle or pinched a nerve. it was a sharp pain but later went away after resting it. Later that week i went back to the gym and was working on the heavy bag and the twisting motion of my hips when i threw a right punch triggered the pain again. its in my lower back on the far left side and is actually below the hip bone. When i massaged the area i could feel a slight pain shoot down my left leg and feel a tendon moving around and it seems to be the main cause of the pain. The pain comes and goes but as soon as i do the repetitive motion it comes back. it also bothers me in hockey from twisting my hips to take a shot. I was just wondering if someone knew what this might be called or maybe a cure or some stretches that would loosen up your lower back and hips. especially if its specifically for this injury.

The front chest muscle often goes in to spasms. The pain is getting worse and unbearable. The pain has traveled from back of muscle just above elbow down to top of forearmrm midway. There is something that feels like a wire(tendon ?) from elbow to wrist that is tight on the underside of the forearm. There is also a muscle in the back that is really notted up and runs from the spine about mid back up and under the shoulder blade.

We have a month old kitten that has ligament and tendon damage in his right rear knee and he cannot bend it. My vet said no bone displacement and no breaks

I believe I injured my leg while doing sprints during soccer. I hadn’t played in a while and I think this was the cause. Is this an injury of the tendon?
