A member asked:
Do tendons heal on their own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They do heal on their own but usually they heal tighter than they should be. It is important to ensure the muscles around the injured tendon have improved strength after an injury and that the tendon is stretched out properly, Discussing all this with a physical therapist as well as getting some treatment from them would be of benefit.
