Help please? how long should it take for an inflamed tendon to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It needs appropriate treatment first. An inflamed tendon needs to rest, apply ice, use anti-inflammatory medication and sometimes requires corticosteroid tendon sheath injections, gradually stretch the tendon and strengthening the muscles around the tendon. Thats a good month sometimes. But each tendon and the amount of inflammation varies.
