How long will it take for a severe calf muscle to fully heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Months: A muscle tear, if not through and through, can take from 6-8 weeks to heal well enough to use the muscle. Complete use may require up to 6 months of rest and physical therapy. Best to have your doctor or a physical therapist monitor recovery before putting any major strain on the muscle.
