Specializes in Sports Medicine

Torn tendon? Muscle?: 7 years after injury with continued dysfunction, it is difficult to guess what the pathology may be and really the best answer can only come from a history and physical exam and perhaps radiographs or MRI imaging. It is possible that you torn a tendon(s) or significantly damaged the muscle(s) on the right side.
