Suggest Treatment For Ruptured Tendon Post An Accident
Several years ago , I was carrying my dried laundry(located in the basement) up to near the top of the stairs, when I lost my balance. My body prevented the fall down the stairs, but I experienced a sharp pain in my right biceps. When I looked at the site later, it appeared that it had bled. My doctor confirmed that I had ruptured one of the tendons.
