What's the difference between a ligament and tendon injury? You may have mixed them up before, but there is an important difference! Dr. Jim Hoven Explains.
Is it possible to partially tear a distal tendon bicep in a pronated position? I was pulling a pallet jack with a load in a pronated position and felt a pain in my right arm. My palms were facing down, possibly pulled a forearm muscle? No bruising or noticeable swelling. Any ideas? I haven't worked out back or biceps for about 5 days only legs and cardio.
The title of this video is ligament vs. Tendon injury. You explained what a ligament injury is and you touched on muscle injury but I didn't hear anything about what a tendon injury is. Unless I missed it, but I watched it twice. And I think that's what I have right now is a tendon injury on the top of my elbow.
Hi. Thanks for the great info up there but I think I missed a point. If I injured a ligament does that mean it can never be normal ever again and will keep hurting?
I'm 5 months into this insertional Achilles tendinitis issue and I still feel it flare up after some physical therapy (single leg heel raises, balance workouts, etc.) But I have gotten better forsure. When is it OK for me to start doing fast twitch workouts like running jumping etc? Should do it anyway to test myself out? Or would that be risking further injury to the Achilles because it does still flare up on me here and there but nothing too drastic
I have pes anserine bursitis. This is the 2nd flare up since 2020, the pain does seems to go despite using anti inflammatory/ultrasound therapy/stretching/any other exercises that were suggested by my physical therapist/as per physiotherapists in RU-vid!!! It keeps on dragging n I'm worried if other structures around the knees will get involved as I started having itching on the medial side of knee!!!!! Can you suggest anything??
Your business is utterly remarkable and fabulous 🤩! I fell twice at the farm we rent in MN because of a really bad FIX to a flooding problem outside the horse barn, by landlord. I'm still suffering a year later! MRI, x-rays and PT can't help me! Only Dry Needling helped release some muscle spasms and TETANY in the Hip and Thigh. Would there be any recourse in holding the landlord responsible? I'm retired healthcare professional, near MPLS. THANK you!
Thank you! We highly suggest talking with a lawyer in your area - they will be able to guide you through a course of action and see if it's possible to pursue a case against the landlord.
i have a connective tissue disorder and honestly muscle strains feel different from tendon strains… as someone with is it possible to strain a tendon and not the muscles fibers?
Do ligaments never really go back to 💯🙄? I suffered an ankle sprain a few years ago. They had me rest for 3 weeks then went back to work. 4 days later it gave out again. Then i had to rest for 5 weeks with 10 phisio sessions (ended up being 9 because of insurance) After a year did another 15 physio sessions everytime it helped. Ive been working on rehabing it to the point where i could walk run and jump again. So far so good... Until... recently after a longer workout session it started acting up again. Really discouraging. 🙄 Even got a limp on it again even though i had a year or two of it being almost as good as the healthy one. And now on my healthy one i have a green purple visible straight line in the back of the knee. Guess the healthy one has been working extra all this time.
I dislocated my elbow, month and half now and they only give me some exercises to do for flexion extension, some times I see little progress sometimes after exercise it's just locked! Completely.. Like being wors! I don't know why? And they told me to do those exercises 5 times a day? Should I do it regardless of what pain I have or stop and rest for a day?
Hi doc, I have bruise before and that bruise already faded away but there's an instance that it hurts inside Idk what i injured And it feels tight And there's redness on the other side What does it mean? Thank you
Hi I just found your video on RU-vid and just a couple questions if I may I have numbness and redness in my left hand at the elbow where your arm bends it gets very sore as does my elbow and yet when I go to neurology says there's nothing wrong or it's only essential tremors also on left and right side of my neck I have a kink and I've tried massaging it but it just seems to take so long could this cause trouble down your arm thank you very much
That does sound like your neck/shoulder could be affecting your hand. I would go see a physician to get that checked out. A chiropractor can adjust your neck to get it back in position.
Yesterday i came back to the gym after a big break and trained my biceps and chest. Today I realised my whole left bicep is very swelled up (little less than double the size of my right one). At no point during yesterdays workout did I feel sudden pain or discomfort so now I'm confused with what this is. Is it a biceps tare? Biceps tendonitis?. There's a slight dent in the middle of the biceps but no bruising or redness and in terms of pain, it just feels sore like a normal muscle would after a workout. 1st day back and already an injury what a joke 🤦♂️
Amazing information. I need help with something please. Approximately 2 months ago, while I was working out I felt a little “click” on the inner side of my right bicep. Since then I haven’t felt pain but I do have a very strange uncomfortable feeling and haven’t been able to workout like I used to. I basically can’t push myself much as the more I extended my arms meaning forming a 180 degree angle, the more “tension” I feel on both of my biceps. Could this be a grade 2 bicep strain? Or grade 1? I am not sure as my doctor told me it’s grade 1 and I been taking an anti inflammatory Meloxicam for 30 days, 1 tab per day and I don’t feel any improvement whatsoever. What should I do? Please help
Hi there, thanks for your question. It seems you need to get into physical therapy with a trained PT. They will be able to guide you with first hand knowledge on your situation. We would highly recommend physical therapy as the pain meds will only give you temporary relief!
My both arms got injured during my first practice session for arm wrestling. I am currently resting and it has been 23 days since I got injured, I've mild pain that rush through my entire hands but it's a little bit better than what it used to be. I am sure I did not tore my tendons or ligament(I kind of feel the pain is only in the muscle) because my hands are fully functional with its movement and there is no pain while doing it so. I am just concerned about how long will it take my muscles to fully heal to start my training again. For treatment, my doctor suggested me some Evion 400 capsules and Carnitor 500 tablets which I'm taking it twice a day. I am also using some heat therapy to help relieving the pain like soaking my arms in hot water for 10-15 mins three times a day.
What country do you live in, please? RARELY in the USA does a medical doctor prescribe these nutrients! I'm a Nutritional Therapist and thrilled to hear this! Thanks so much for sharing this 💞! How are you healing? Please update! Thanks
If I cannot bend my arm fully. Like my right hand cannot reach my elbow, whenever I do it, it hurts. I had an accident a week ago. Went to a doctor and had an x-ray. And said nothing was wrong. What is the possible reason behind this? Is it a twisted ligament? Or what? Thank you so much.
I’m so sorry to hear about your fall! It’s very common for joints that are sprained after a fall to become swollen, painful and to lose their full range of motion. As far as the x-ray findings, those may be misleading as x-ray is predominantly meant to diagnose bone issues like fractures and dislocations rather than soft tissue and ligament injuries. There are several things you can do, but I’d certainly start by speaking with a doctor that understands soft tissue injury management. This can be in the realm of a chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist and even an acupuncturist. You can try letting it rest to see if it “calms down” on it’s own with things like ice or heat, but if you feel any numbness or tingling in your upper extremity, you should get it checked out right away. I certainly hope this helps get you moving in the right direction. If you need anything else, please let me know. Jim@ramoslaw.com
Sound like im in pretty much the same situation as you, iv been singed off by the doc for 2 weeks now, still not better, turning my hand, moving my arm is painful, how long it will take to heal im not sure.
Doc is it possible for the sprained acl to return back to its normal function earlier.I have sprained acl since 4years.No change after chiropractic and massage treatment.what is the most effective treatment for grade 1acl sorain
I dont think i tore the tendon but i did hear what sounded like bubble wrap popping while doing preacher curls. It didn’t hurt enough for me to immediately stop but i did notice a significant drop in strength happened on rep number 3 and I was only able to do 5 out of 12. Each following rep i heard more bubble wrap noise. So i stopped working out altogether. I am traveling and have no way of accessing a doctor right now. Anybody have any type of advice? Thank you.
What you are describing certainly sounds like the tendon, muscle, or some combination based on how you are describing it. I know you are traveling, but this is definitely something you should have evaluated by a health care professional at your earliest opportunity to determine the exact injury as well as to create the best plan for appropriate care. While you are away and not able to access health care, the best approach is applying the basics of rest, ice if swollen, “hot”, or red/bruised, and light to moderate compression (as long as compression doesn’t cause numbness, color change, or pain. We certainly hope you find out the extent of your injury very soon, and that you make a rapid, complete recovery. Wishing you the best, Dr Jim Hoven

If your elbow hurts with pushups, there are a couple of things that you can try to alleviate the discomfort: 1) find a chiropractor or physical therapist to evaluate the muscles and joint for dysfunction and treatment, and then they can give you at home exercises and soft tissue work to do on your own. 2) Change the position of your hands to see if any pain relief comes with that change. 3) Look at some “soft tissue mobilization for elbow” online and you’ll find lots of things you can try at home with no or minimal equipment. 4) Rest…you may need to take some time off of pushups for the tendons to get some relief. This might be critical to do with any or all of the above. I hope this helps, Jay!
My neck has hurt for a year now from calling off a car before my 51/50. Had an abusive bf so I got off the car instead of dealing with the abuse. I bleed so much. Now my neck cracks 4 times every 2 minutes most of the time My doctor did an xray on my neck and no bones are broken Yet my neck cracks and gets inflammed just by simple things as sitting and living. I have been trying to find a way to heal but so far my doctor hasn't told me which specific part is damaged and causing pain, inflammation, and cracks.

Thanks for the question! Grade-3 muscle tears are typically treated with a surgical consult and likely surgical intervention. The term “Grade-3” refers to a muscle that is completely torn.
the tear of grade 3 is detached ITS COMPLETELY SEVERED ITS ALOT MORE SERIOUS than these so called doctors lead on. You willnever recover. Honestly just take it easy from now on. Hopefully you don't work construction because that makes it virtually impossible to do that kind of work again. The doctors will tell you anything so they can make money off surgery. ..
Aperçu Un tendon est un tissu conjonctif fibreux qui relie le muscle à l'os. Les tendons peuvent également attacher les muscles à des structures telles que le globe oculaire. Un tendon sert à déplacer l'os ou la structure. Un ligament est un tissu conjonctif fibreux qui attache l'os à l'os et sert généralement à maintenir les structures ensemble et à les maintenir stables.

If he heard a "pop" sound, it usually indicates a tear in the tendon, especially if the sound is accompanied by severe pain and discomfort in the ankle.
