Accepted Answer

One month: There is no definite info regarding mild drinking and liver laceration healing.  I just makes sense not to challenge the liver while it is healing.  On the other hand, was your laceration related to your drinking?  If so, you need to get it under control before something worse happens.

Question 10

i had cycling crash and had liver laceration grade 2, how long and time should i recover (rest) and start cycling again?

Accepted Answer

Good question: No one really knows for sure how long liver lacerations take to heal, but it depends on extent of damage, associated organ injury, location of injury, etc.   I would say 3 months to resume, if you are doing competitive cycling.  If you are just riding with low risk of another crash, you can probably resume as soon as pain resolves.  Ask your trauma surgeon for specific recommendations in your case
