A member asked:
Expert opinion - should missing a tendon in my right shoulder cause one peck to be bigger othen the other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Depending on what tendon you are referring to your pectoralis muscle on that shoulder may be larger due to a greater dependence on this muscle for function. Alternatively, it could also explain if that side is smaller as well as you may have weakness on that side resulting in the assymmtery. Difficult question to answer w/o further info.
