Complications include secondary cataract, iris rubeosis, uveitis, secondary glaucoma and, eventually, phthisis bulbi. Once damaged, there are greatly increased chances of infectious diseases such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis (or phthisis as it was called then) superimposing themselves.
There was so much load, the muscles were pulling so hard, the force went somewhere and a rip/tear of some size happened. Symptoms of a pulled back muscle include (sorry, some of these are obvious): ** Pain, in a specific spot and/or referred pain elsewhere. ** Pain on movement, including taking a deep breath.
Chest muscles are pulled and strained in varying degrees. The mildest pulled muscle injury yields no tears or weakness. A moderate injury results in tears to the chest muscles and tendons. The most severe injury causes the tendons to rupture, resulting in a need for surgery and other medical interventions. The most obvious sign of a pulled muscle is pain. However, the level of pain felt relates to the degree of injury.
