These can present with a palpable defect in the muscle or tendon. However, swelling in the area may make this difficult to appreciate. These injuries sometimes require surgery to reattach the damaged muscle and tendon. An x-ray may be helpful to rule out a fracture or dislocation as the cause of pain.
The most likely cause is an airborne bacteria called Serratia Marcescens. This bacteria is common and generally grows in damp conditions such as those found in bathrooms and kitchens. Serratia produces a pinkish film on surfaces that are regularly moist and subject to humid conditions.he most likely cause is an airborne bacteria called Serratia Marcescens.

Investigators found the deadly Serratia Marcescens bacteria in cultures from 16 of the 52 soap bottles and the pathogen was discovered in cultures on 1 of the 15 sinks. The investigation uncovered that water was allowed to pool in and around the sink long enough for the bacteria to grow.erratia Marcescens can be deadly in humans as documented in 1996 when the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigated the deaths of infants at the Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA. The Medical Center contacted the CDC when it discovered 32 infants infected with some form of the disease.
