I am an anatomy instructor in my first teaching year looking for any information you may have on biceps tendon tears. My hope is to provide a lecture that covers both the anatomy with some information on what happens during and after tendon injuries. What can you recommend? 1 week 1 day ago 8
My husband is a construction worker with a good paying job and no other skills. So his job is vital to our family support. He has been off for three months now due to a torn biceps tendon. After surgery, he's been in physical therapy to regain his strength needed for the job. The question I have is this -- X-rays show he has some bone forming inside the muscle where they reattached the tendon to the bone. Will this add or subtract to his strength? I guess I'm worried that this will cause further problems. 1 week 1 day ago 8

I have a very persistent case of tennis elbow -- probably from my work at a meat packing plant. I've tried a couple of steroid injections. They helped for about a week and then the pain started again. I've heard there's a new blood injection treatment I could try but that it is more painful than the steroid injections. What can you tell me about this? 3 weeks 6 days ago 19
I was recently diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. It seems to have settled in my right elbow. The doctor wants me to start what she calls "aggressive" therapy taking new medications. The meds are called DMARD. I don't really want to take drugs. Isn't there a more natural way to deal with this problem? 4 weeks 5 days ago 37
