Suggest Treatment For Muscle Pull
Question: How long does it usually take for a quad muscle pull to heal I pulled it approximately four weeks ago and it is no better than it was in the beginning.
Brief Answer:
Usually heals in 4-6 weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A quadriceps muscle pull usually heals in 4-6 weeks if proper rest is given. It can also be associated with mild tear of the muscle fibers which need a complete rest from activities for healing.
If the pain is persistent then you need to use an elastic brace, avoid all stressful or painful activities and take a mild pain killer for another two weeks.
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.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
