What's a torn ligament in the arm feel like?

I do not know whether its the bone or ligament or muscle thats wrong with my arm but whats a torn ligament feel like? Or whats a small crack or hairline fracture feel like in your arm?




basically I was playing football 7 months ago and I torn a ligament in my groin and i’ve been going to physio for the last 5 months and still feel pain. How long will it take to get back to normal? thanks.




i’m going for the first time tomorrow and i’m just wondering what exactly they do in physical therapy for a torn knee ligament.




I am 30 and run everyday outdoors for 1 hour and lately the back of my leg hurts "sore" afterwards. can it be a torn ligament? How can I fix it? I always warm up before and after.




How to give a massage? 10 pts. for Most Helpful?

My boyfriend is extremely athletic and is always sore. He asked me to give him a sports massage, but I don’t really know what that is. I know how to give a normal massage (I think), but the other thing is that my boyfriend is REALLY wide and muscular… so I don’t know if giving HIM a massage would be different.

Any tips/instructions? Thanks!

torn ligament in my knee. its black and blue, give out, and really really really hurts




I have a pinched nerve in the back of my neck that is causing my left shoulder and arm to hurt. I did therapy for a few weeks but it didn’t help. I have been dealing with the pain for almost 5 months now. I take Tylenol but it doesn’t always work. I can’t take aspirin or Advil because of the ulcer I had four years ago. I just want some answers.




How to make a torn ligament worse?

I think i tore some ligaments on the inside of my ankle ( I have pain just below the bone on the inside of my left ankle). What are things that would make a torn ligament worse? I’m trying to prevent making it worse, and I’d like to know what sorts of things I should stay way from that will only hurt me. Please don’t respond with answers about how to get better as I already am resting, icing and all that.




I have a Sharp pain in my right shoulder blade area that I assume to be a pinched nerve. Pain ‘radiates’ around the spot and my right arm/hand is tingly/semi-numb. The pain started happening Thursday morning, it’s now Sunday afternoon an getting worse. Pain killers havent done anything… Doctors appt? Thanks!




I’m 15 years old and very athletic. I play soccer about 5 days on 7. I underwent MRI scans a couple of days ago and today i got the results and the lady on the phone said she thinks that theres a small tear in one of my ligaments(she did not mention which one). Will it require surgery? How long will it take to heal? And do soccer players usually get a lot worse talent wise after a torn ligament or they just get back to normal with a bit of rehabilitation?




Aching leg after sports massage?

On Wednesday afternoon I had a sports massage in my lower legs to combat cramping and tightness I was experiencing during and after running.
This went well, she mentioned my left leg was overall tight and my right leg was tight on my lower inside right and the upper part of my lower on the outside.
I have nto taken any exercise, just the usual walking and standing at walk.
The only thing is I have a really annoying dull ache on the outside of my right leg, which I cant seem to make go away. Its like when you have restlesss legs when your in bed and you have to keep moving them to releive the ache, but Im only getting this on the right outside of my leg.

Whats happend, I am desperate to get out running since I have been resting for nearly 3 weeks. :(
