Question
I am having a problem with my muscles tearing loose from the bone without really doing anything strenuous. I snapped a towel at a fly and my bicep tore loose from the bone. about ayear and a half later I was tightening a lid on a jar and my bicep on my other arm tore loose. Is this a collagen problem or something else?

Answer
Can be collagen from too much omega-6 plant oil in diet and lack of magnesium oxide and calcium carbonate and Vit D so have your doctors run the tests for these. see http://efaeducation.nih.gov to see how to manage the omega-6 toxicity from your foods
