A member asked:

How long of a healing time for a tendon in the top of my foot to heal? feltlike i had a charlie horse on the top of my foot.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tendon healing: It really is a variable thing to talk about healing times for tendons. If the tendon is cut, crushed or just bruised it will heal differently. It may take more than a month. Protect and rest the area. If you tore the tendon or cut the tendon you should see help from your podiatrist.
