I reentered the game I was playing too. It wasn't until a couple of days later that the pain got worse, the bruising appeared, and I could no longer throw or swing the bat at all.
The fact is that no trainer, or even a doctor, can make an RPT diagnosis w/o an X-ray or and MRI.
Like I said it was a guess, like everyone else's on here.
Where is a replay?
I was recording it ran it back at the time from CUSA TV . I don't know where on the net it might be now.
I guess we will see, but a proximal tear or rupture does not incapacitate you. There are two tendons, and the short one is still fully functional. You lose a noticable amount of strength at the time, but, at least in my case, if you can handle the pain you can still play. I was still able to hit enough to get over the infield by using my body more and keeping my elbow in. Throwing was more problematic but again I could compensate by keeping my elbow in and using my whole body more.
In BJ's case, I remember it to be his left shoulder so he might have felt even more like he could play through it.
Having had the injury it looked familiar to me.
You may be a PT, but from your comments, you have never had the injury, and likely any client you have had that did, had already had reattachment surgery, or someone that elected not to, both of whom the orthopedic surgeon prescribed PT after some period of healing.
Additionally, you stated that my guess was the only one clearly unreasonable. I submit that the suggestions of shoulder dislocation are far more unreasonable, in that a dislocation may also concurrently damage tendons, ligaments, and/or muscle tissue, so "popping it back in" and sending a player back in is potentially very dangerous.
Curiously, a fully ruptured biceps tendon is not going to get worse as there is little more damage that could be done. A non fully detached tear is more problematic , but only to the point of full rupture.
