A member asked:
How long does it take to get over a thoracic strain, and is it normal to still be having severe burning pain after almost 5 weeks of injury?

Should be improving: If you are still having pain after that long you really should be examined a typical strain will heal over 4-6 weeks if you give it some rest. You want to make sure you don't have any thing else going on which may be causing your pain.

If purely muscular : In nature, usually 6-8 weeks depending on your age, underlying physical conditioning and health.

Eval: Any pain that is persistent or progressively worsening should be reevaluated by a physician. Burning pain may represent a pain etiology other than a strain, or may respond to a specific type of treatment depending on the cause. Consider formal evaluation by physician.
