Littlebro danimal possibly tore quad

[littlemack]

So in the interest of sharing torn muscle stories...I bring you guys this. My little brother danimal has been trying to contact me the last few days to no avail, and I got this email this morning from him.

Hey Mack!
Hope you're feeling better. I think I tore something in my leg the
other day when I was throwing a backflip. I landed pretty hard in a
deep squated position and heard a pop. This hurt like a S.O.B. and my
strength is nill on leg extentions. It feels like an injury to an
inner quad muscle or tendon. I think I'll have to get it checked out.

Yes. At 200lbs danimal still does standing backflips in his boots! He's a crazy kid isn't he?

Let's all wish him well and a speedy recovery.

THE QUAD IS NOT EVEN BRUISED. WHERE IS THE PAIN? MEDIALIS? LATERALIS?

 

[littlemack]

I'll call him up and talk to him. Haven't spoken to him yet on the phone. He's got a very tiny bruise up high on the inner quad there, but most of the bruise looks like its behind the knee. Of course gravity pulls the blood down. I'll see if I can get him on here or on the phone at least.

p.s. danimal- Mom wants to know how much you had to drink? lol

Mack, if he tore his quad, believe he would be the first one to know it! The hollaring will be a dead give away. It looks like he bruised his leg in some way. If he can stand on it and even walk, the it's not torn. More so bruised. But best to have him get a x-ray on it so we can all be sure!

 

[littlemack]

Man. When I tore my pec.. I knew it instantly! The loud "Ripping" sound was a dead give away. Talk about pain... Ouch...

The only thing that worries me is that he did hear a "pop" which could have been a tendon snapping off. Tried calling him earlier but still no answer. I'll find out and give you guys an update.

but he just got here!

could be a lateral tear???

It could be a good strain???

unless the pain starts higher up where the muscle connects, I would not say it is connective tissue damage...I am pretty sure there is no connective tissue mid-muscle.

if he tore it to the extent of it coming off the bone, then you would be able to tell in many many ways....shhhhhhhh listen, we could hear him screaming now

 

[littlemack]

Talked to him on the phone and he says he can walk, but there are certain movements he just can't do like jump or push off on that leg. He was looking through some anatomy stuff and thinks its maybe medialus? But I would expect to see the bruise around his knee as that's where it would drain to I think. He said he landed in a deep squated position. Not to mention...the pain...man...wouldn't that be excruciating? hahaha Maybe its something like the sartorius? Sounds like a partial tear and not a rupture. Weird how there is a bruise mid leg and then behind the knee like that?
He's traveling right now so can't post, but I'll get him online to give us an update later.

hahaha... danimal...what a crazy goof...

my boy tore his ham string...heres what that looked like...

so hopefully youre bros isnt too bad

my theory is that he tore some scar tissue away from healty tissue..most of us have them when leg pressing is seems, I have had a million of them from I think so many injects in the quads. and if I go a while without pressing fairly heavy when I go back to it I get um again. I have talked to alot of guys that have ahd these is different degrees....

anyone else?
