Hi Dr, I recently had an injury at work which led to severe pain, inflammation and minor visable deformation of the elbow. After extray and ultrasound scans the finding by the sonographer was that the right extensor tendon origin is thickened, with an uneven echo texture, and a small partial tear 4x4mm. My employer has been very uncooperative and evasive also I believe he was not holding a current workers comp insurance policy and due to his avoidance I was wondering if these symptoms are commonly caused by lefting and pushing of heavy furniture and excessive work load. Kind Regards Abby.
