It is possible to tear a muscle over an implant?

Asked By:anonymous2413 in Illinois City, IL

About a week ago my son and I were playing and he fell full weight into the side of my left implant. Since then I have been very sore on that side and have had a few moments of feeling like something is seriously wrong. I saw my PS and he said it's not a rupture but he didn't give me time to explain that I think it is a muscle tear. I've never felt anything like this before. I can't lay certain ways or push on my left side like I could before. Have any drs had a patient with a similar situation?
