Bruised Tendon????!
My neighbor says she has a bruised ligament but I don't think she does. We were playing contained by the sprinkler and she fell on her leg. She wasn't crying and she could walk fine. Then about a week latter she went to the doctor and said that she has a bruised ligament. Then about 3 days later, my friend come over and we were going on a run and my neighbor was too. Is a bruised muscle bad? I think she simply got a regular bruise, but I am not sure. What do you think??
Answer: Tendons are fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone. They do not bruise but can be strained. The severity of the injury depends on the scope of the strain.
Bruises or contusions are caused by bleeding into muscle or soft tissue and can be mild or severe. They can take days or weeks to alleviate.
By the way ligaments connect bone to bone and when injured but not torn completely are called sprains..
if the doctor say she has it then yes.
doctors didnt run through 8 years of medical school for nothing..
ouch
