Hello,
Muscle tear can not be seen in X ray. Only bone injuries can be seen in X ray.
Your doctor must have concluded this diagnosis on the basis of physical examination on you.
He has prescribed Etova P, this is a analgesic (pain killer) and and an anti inflammatory drug.
This type of drug usually causes gastritis.
To prevent gastritis drugs like Rablet 20 is given along with it.
So always take Etova P after having food, never take in empty stomach which may cause ulcer.
Take care
Bye
