A member asked:
Is it common for a posterior deltoid muscle strain to take a couple of years to heal completely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Deltoid: Pretty unusual. Most muscular injuries subside in a few weeks, and with anti-inflammatories and rest. You should get it checked out, you may have torn a ligament and this healing is taking a while.
