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.

Serratia bacteria are common inhabitants of our environment and can be found in many places, including human and animal feces, dust, soil, and in surface waters.The bacteria will grow in any moist location where phosphorous containing materials or fatty substances accumulate.ore recently, Serratia marcescens has been found to be pathogenic to a very small percentage of people, having been identified as a cause of urinary tract infections, wound infections, and pneumonia in hospital environments.
