Sports Injury Blog - The Disabled List

I tore my pectoral muscle while bench pressing at my gym. I had all the symptoms but I was unclear of the diagnosis. After a while, I had an MRI performed and I was told that there was no tear by way of the report. I did attempt therapy and I felt that was a joke (ultrasounds, shock treatments) Needless to say, by the time I visited an orthopedic surgeon, he mentioned that there was a tear and that too much time had elapsed, hence there was nothing that he could do. In short, I am extremely weaker (which sucks), and I now I am not symmetrical in the chest area. This has to be the most depressing injury that one could ever face.  I now have to live with this for life.
