Question 1

how long does it take a torn sartorius muscle to rehabilitate?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It would depend on the severity of the tear, your overall health, your prescribed therapy and your own inate ability to heal.  It could be anywhere from a couple of weeks to 6 weeks or more.  Get a good evaluation from an orthopedist or a sports medicine specialist and perhaps a physical therapist  dealing with sports injuries.

Question 2

i have been told i have displaced or twisted to the inside sartorius muscle. physical therapist aligned it back 3 times but it keeps getting twisted..

Accepted Answer

Sartorius: If that is a persistent issue and PT not belong I would discuss with a orthopedist

Question 3

i have twitches for 2 days now, it went down in severity, it's isolated to a single location on my thigh (sartorius muscle if i am not mistaken), should i be worried ?

Accepted Answer

Not yet: Muscle twitching for two days in a middle age male is very likely related to isolated overuse of a local muscle group. Warm soaks, calcium supplements or foods, and rest will likely accompany resolution.  Continuance after a week or so, worsening, or occurrence of other symptoms might suggest a doctor visit.

Question 4

hi, i believe i have mild pain in my sartorius muscle for an upward jump that made my legs go out in a split-like position without warming up. do i have to do anything or just wait until it gets better? it's getting better already. it was 3 days ago?

Accepted Answer

: If it is getting better, give it time and it should return to normal.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Question 5

i have pain in my sartorius or gracilis muscle. i had an acl reconstruction a year ago and they used one of the above muscle.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: They could have used the gracilis as part of the graft. The sartorial is never used as a graft. However, the current pain is more likely from limping. Limping and favoring that knee comes from quad weakness and inhibitions. This in turn causes hamstring tendinitis.

Question 6

what happens if both your sartorius muscles become extremely tight and they feel like they're on the inside of your thigh please give some good detail?

Accepted Answer

Get better: Heat, massage, streching  will relax it, it will come back to normal.

Question 7

i felt severe pain as if i was pulling a muscle at the gym 2 days ago while doing lunges. now the thigh is swollen, there is no discolouration. pain is along sartorius distribution. how lilely is a muscle tear? can i take anti inflammatories anf rest

Accepted Answer

Tear: It could be acute strain or a sprain. Rest and anti inflammatory medication would be effective. Also moist heat compresses may help. Good Luck

Question 8

i pulled my sartorius a month ago and there is still no change. is there any possibility that it's torn? it happened right after i ran in a xc race.

Accepted Answer

Advise PT for rehab: See a pt for rehab.   If no better in 2 weeks see pcp or an ortho doc.

Question 9

how do i know if i have torn a muscle?

Accepted Answer

Pain and weakness: A muscle tear generally causes pain, swelling, bruising, and weakness. See your doctor if you have these symptoms.

Question 10

can a torn muscle heal itself?

Accepted Answer

Heal w/scar: A 'torn' muscle does heal but depending on the size of the tear and location it generally heals w/ fibrous tissue similar to scar tissue.Muscle does not reform itself.Muscle can hypertrophy(get bigger) and make up for the defect created but not re-create the muscle that was torn or lost.
