I could be wrong Sammy but I believe ultrasounds in the case of joint/ligament damage and muscle tears are used in an acute setting (48-72 hrs) to assess hematoma formation, which indirectly infers traumatic damage. But as far as Im aware, ultrasounds dont/cant directly visualize tears because the soft tissue contrast just isnt that good.
Regardless, if Oldboy has constant sharp pain, its more likely to be a spasm than a muscle tear.

Whatever you do don 't go anywhere near the Arsenal medical staff .They can turn two or three days off into five weeks .
Suggest you start with the ultrasound. That WILL detect tears. Certainly showed my ruptured achilles tendon. Kyzr doesn't know what he is talking about.
