A member asked:
If a soft tissue injury is still swollen is it still acute?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Swelling can be either acute (new or recent) onset or swelling can be chronic (old) onset. A soft tissue injury can have either acute or chronc swelling associated with it. For some types of injuries the swelling can take longer to resolve.
