Question : I slipped on a bush walk tearing rectus fenoris musle above knee. Is time the healer for this sort of problem. Regards Selwyn.
Brief Answer:
Rest to the muscle helps in healing.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A muscle tear takes time to heal. It needs rest and rest for healing. If given proper rest the tear will heal in 4-6 weeks. You can return to your normal activities then. Till then it is best to avoid all painful activities. You can take a mild pain killer to control the pain.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
