is it true?
that a tendon break/ tear is more painful than breakin a bone.
and for anyone who has suffered a shouldre tendon tear how long did it take for your recovery? by that i mean how much time till you were training?In the animal world we have seen that the vast majority of species live in societies, and that they find in association the best arms for the struggle for life: understood, of course, in its wide Darwinian sense -- not as a struggle for the sheer means of existence, but as a struggle against all natural conditions unfavourable to the species. The animal species, in which individual struggle has been reduced to its narrowest limits, and the practice of mutual aid has attained the greatest development, are invariably the most numerous, the most prosperous, and the most open to further progress. The mutual protection which is obtained in this case, the possibility of attaining old age and of accumulating experience, the higher intellectual development, and the further growth of sociable habits, secure the maintenance of the species, its extension, and its further progressive evolution. The unsociable species, on the contrary, are doomed to decay.

I saw some kid today who tore a tendon.. he was crying in pain. He kept yelling he broke his leg. He was a pretty big guy too, so I'd assume it hurts just as much.
I also knew a girl once who had a tendon thing in her leg.. torn i think, she was out for months. Gotta be careful afterwards too, pain can come back. Anwya, Shoulders are weird... very easy to hurt, hard to recover.

When I broke my ankle I tore three ligaments and the bone break pain was muted almost entirely by the tear. I could only imagine tendons being worse.

I tore a ligament in my knee and the pain felt like my knee was resting on a thousand razorblades. It took me about 7 months to walk without a limp and about a year to get back to my regular activities.

Yes. When I broke my ankle and tore the ligaments the doc said the bone healed within a few weeks but the ligaments took several months.

In my world of injuries, this is how they would rate. From most pain to least:
Disc herniation > ACL tear > wrist fracture > dog bite > slammed finger in car door > bee stingI know you're half-crazy, but I wish you'd go all the way.

I only know tearing the ligaments in your knee is the worst possible injury you can have.

So breaking your spine and becoming paralyzed wouldn't be as bad as torn knee ligaments?

Tendons connect muscles to bones.

Let's use some common sense here. I'm sure he was referring to severity of pain. Knee ligament tears tend to be very painful. Most spinal cord injuries have very little degree of pain --- because you can no longer feel! However, I think any reasonable person....when given the option....would prefer the ligament tear.

I've broken my left wrist twice in different places, fractured my left leg, dislocated my knee, and gotten a concussion.
How painful on or the other is depends on the severity of the break vs. the severity of the tendon/ligament tear. It's difficult to compare the two.
On the other hand, I would say healing from a torn tendon/ligament is much, much worse then healing from a broken bones. They're just so frustrating! Reinjury is extremly common, and healing takes forever. However with bone breaks, a good doctor can set almost any break so that after it heals and you strengthen the bone, you're fine! My left wrist has no problems, left leg is great. However I'll probably have this STUPID TENNIS ELBOW the rest of my life (I don't even play much tennis!), and my knee has never really been the same.
Even worse, there's not really anything you can do for tendon/ligament strains. "Ice it and take ibuprofen." Unless its real bad, thats about all a doctor will tell you. If you break a bone, it goes in a cast, you get drugs, its heals, you go through rehab, and unless its a joint or really, really bad, you're fine! Anyways, thats my two cents.Stats: 11/15/07-First-meet--2nd Meet----3rd meet
