Re: Bruises-Anyone Else?- torn muscles Pris

[Guest guest]

Yesterday a man came by to get a welder's oxygen tank from me. I told him I

couldn't help because of the torn muscles, and he surprised me when he told

me he had torn all the bicep muscles a couple of years earlier, not just a

'few' that I did, and is still not healed. I have also talked to another man

that had the same problem. I had read on-line that it only happens in one of

a hundred thousand, so is fairly uncommon, or so I've thought. I'm using it

carefully though it still hurts a lot.

The doc I saw a few weeks later told me not to use that arm for 6 weeks. It

was too late for that, but the pain I get when using that arm reminds me to

take it easier. That's quite an alert system for us. If it hurts, don't do

it!
