Tendon repair How much it take to recover?

Since tendons have a decent blood supply, they'll take a while, but not too long, to recover. I'd say in about 4-6 more weeks you'll be completely recovered.\n\nThere's no risk of breaking the tendon by weight, but you could collapse against it and fall and break something else. Or, if during the surgery, they stitched it, by putting weight on it you could break the stitches. Just don't put weight on it.\n\nNo real vitamins help, but if you'd want real help on that, go see your doctor or a nutrition specialist. I don't think that vitamins will really help tendons though.\n\nWhatever happens, just remember to take the time recovering. Don't try to rush yourself. I did that when i broke my leg in 5 places at once, and since then, my leg hasn't been perfect.

Hate to tell you this, but normal recovery takes 6 months to one year.  Sorry!  Hope you feel better.

Yeah, it sounds like tendinitis. I got it in my elbow from surfing. It hurts like heck. The doctor told me to keep it immobilized in a sling for 6 weeks. That was damn near impossible to do but I managed a couple weeks in the sling and then I just made sure not to over use it for a while. It healed up and never came back. But if you keep up with the same routine without giving your tendons a chance to heal you can really mess things up, at which point you'll need surgery. Take it easy for a while and allow yourself to heal up. I suppose icing/heating it might help with the discomfort.\n\nI'd be very careful about taking anti-inflammatories. Not only are they terrible for your body (kidneys and liver) but they do not aid the healing process. They will simply reduce your swelling which will help relieve the pain and increase your mobility, but in turn can set you up for way bigger problems down the road. It will allow you to use your damaged tendons when they should be at rest and you'll make everything worse. Unfortunately, swelling is your body's natural way of immobilizing a joint so it can heal.

Have you gone to a doctor yet?  It might be a sprain or a strain.  That can take anywhere from a few weeks to a year to heal.  I would stay off of it, and use ice if it starts to hurt too badly.  20 minutes with the ice, and 1 hour without it.  Do not keep the ice on for too long, because that can cause damage in and of itself.  I hope you heal up soon, babe!

sprained wrists take anywhere between 3 months to a full year to fully recover. If you want to help speed up the recovery, i would advise a good multi vitamin every day so that your body has all the building blocs to repair the problem. Also apply cold compress for 30 min and alternate with a hot pad. do this once a day. i hope you get better quickly, i know its not fun to have a sprained wrist!

Take 800mg Motrin three times a day. Ice the area at least 2 - 3 times a day for 20 minutes at a time. Depending where the tendinitis is, wear a band or splint. See your doctor. I get it off and on throughout the year because of working on the computer too often. It is caused by repetitive motion and if not taken care of over the years (16 years for me) it can turn into carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrists.

Not much really. And this is one thing where you don't want anonymous internet advise. Take it up with a physical therapist. A therapist can also recommend exercises to train the knee specifically for a better recovery. \n\nThe recovery process can take many months, and even then there's stuff like skiing that you don't want to do without a good brace.

About 4 hours.\n\nYou're dribbling a bit there, you might want to get a tissue.

With injuries that extensive, three months recovery is still quite early to expect all to be as new, if at all.\n\nThe best person to ask about this is your doctor.  He knows the exact extent of your injuries and probable recouperation time.\nHe would also know if something needed to be done now or if you should just continue recovering.\n\nGood luck

It may take months to feel like your old self again. If you are in top physical condition with strong abdominal muscles, recovery will be faster. Some people return to work after two weeks, while others need to wait  three or four weeks.\n\nExercise will help you heal. Even if you've never exercised before begin an exercise program to reduce swelling, lower the chance of blood clots, and tone muscles as soon as the doctor allows it.. \n\nYour scars may seem worse as they heal, which is normal. It will o take 9 -12 months  before your scars flatten and lighten. They will never disappear completely but won't show under most clothing\n\nJust be sure to follow your surgeon's post op instructions to the letter and you will do fine.  Your results will be long lasting IF you follow the diet your doctor prescribes and you exercise faithfully.  Good luck!

the surgery itself is fairly quick... just minutes\n\nas for recovery- it depends on your age and your sexual tendancies... erection can cause it to take longer to heal\n\non average look for it to take about the same as a surface scratch to heal... usually about 2 weeks (unless u are diabetic)

i love sports, but unfortunately, i get injuries all the time. what i do is put a worm cloth on it for 30 minutes, then a cold cloth on it for 30 minutes. keep doing that until the swelling goes away. if you have any questions, e-mail me at smilegoat386@hotmail.com. and DON'T listen to the doofas that said "injuries can't be healed", because if you heall the correct way, they can.

I've had the right one done, arthritis, and have to have the left done as well.  It will take time to rehab and you will need assistance for a while.  That pain isn't as much as I thought it would be but it still hurts.  It will be about 6-8 months before you are 'back to normal'.  But, sadly, you will have to have them done again.

http://www.bellspalsy.ws/\n\nAll the info you could want....\n\nAnd to answer your question....Approximately 50% of Bells palsy patients will have essentially complete recoveries in a short time. Another 35% will have good recoveries in less than a year.\n\nRegardless of the trigger, Bell's palsy is best described as an event - trauma to the nerve. As with any other injury, healing follows. The quality and duration of recovery is dependent on the severity of the initial injury. If the nerve has suffered nothing more than a mild trauma, recovery can be very fast, taking several days to several weeks. An "average" recovery is likely to take between a few weeks and a few months. The nerve regenerates at a rate of approximately 1-2 millimeters per day, and can continue to regenerate for 18 months, probably even longer. Improvement of appearance can continue beyond that time frame.

Well, you need to stop excercising until it feels better because if you dont, you are going to make the injury worse because you aren't allowing it time to heal. I use a method called the ice massage. Fill a paper or strofoam cup about half way up with water and freexe it. Once it is frozen, peel away the paper or styrofoam a little bit to reveal teh ice. Now, massage it onto your ankle without stopping for about 10 minutes. Your ankle should be completely numb by the time it is done. I have bad tendons in my ankle and have to do this everyday after I work out. It really does help heal the problem and prevent the pain.
