A member asked:
I injured my rhomboid muscle group in june, was told recovery wold be ten days/two weeks, but still in a lot of pain. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: These muscles can take a long time to heal. If you haven't, you may want to consider physical therapy, where they can do electrostimulation therapy and deep tissue release. If the symptoms persist, then an MRI may be warranted to look for a tear in the muscle.
