How much time will it take a calf tear to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: first off, how do you know if it is torn? Have you had an MRI to see the extent? Calf muscle is the biggest and very important mover below the knee so it gets a lot of work. Rest is your first line of defense; possibly a removable cast depending on the severity. It could take up to 9 months. Depends on where it is torn.
