Treatments for 1st/2nd degree ab muscle strain.it has been 3 weeks since my injury and it still hurts.would it be advisable 2 see a physical therapist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Muscle strains (torn muscle) in general take about 2-6 weeks to heal . Abdominal strains are particularly painful since they are constantly being used to maintain your posture when standing etc. Therapist can help ease the pain, promote rapid healing and muscle function and give advice on lessening the pain
