[ In Reply To ..]I got this off of Google. I hear you about the syllables and sounds that they add. You wouldn't believe how bad one of my docs does that! I transcribe for an orthopedic shoulder specialist, and I believe I have heard "mass" many times when referring to biceps tendon ruptures.
Good Luck!
When the biceps tendon tears or ruptures, one may experience the following symptoms in the anterior (front) portion of the shoulder:
A sudden sharp pain during activity.
An audible pop or a perceived snapping sensation may be felt.
Recurrent pain while performing overhead or repetitive activities.
Shoulder soreness that may worsen at night.
Bruising, or a visible and palpable mass (bulge) may appear between the shoulder and elbow. The bulge is due to the torn tendon fibers pulling off the shoulder and slipping down into the upper arm, where they come to rest as a balled up mass.
Weakness in the arm.
Thank you both for your help :-) - mt3
