A member asked:
Torn ligament in foot, still sore 3 months later. what is taking so long to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would be better: If you specified which ligament. One of the reasons for a delay in improvement is the fact we walk on feet and use them when walking. This may cause delayed healing. There is a possibility of an occult or hidden injury as well.
