torn or strained deltoid

[Gymgurl]

I just went to a Orthopedic for my Quad...riped a quad tendon....has hurt for a month and was real bad in the begining...have a MRI scheduled on sunday so they can figure out how to treat it.....tell him to go to someone who knows what they are doing!

Ive torn both tricepts. The outer on my right and inner on my left. The experience is like an explosion or electrical jolt followed often by NO pain, but bleeding internally and visual black pooling the next day.

The muscle in my experince lifting the last 18+ years is that if its a tear, the muscle never 100% comes back in either strength nor original shape(but it may be close). It does in no way mean you have to quit lifting, just live with the difference. At least this has been my experience.

so therefore if there was no black pooling, just a slight pop at the time of the injury, wouldnt that mean that he strained it instead of tearing it.

not necessarily, you can slightly tear something.. as for the deformity i dont know how to explain this but if i was beginning to get deformed i would see a doctor.. ive heard pops when lifting just from the muscle moving and sliding over a bone or something.. but if its a noticable deformity i would check it out even if i was w/o pain cuz i would rather not be deformed
