[|Human|] I lacerated my calf musle very close to the archillies tendon. My doctor said he would rather not perform surgery and stich the muscle, instead having me go to physical therapy 2 x a week. pain is really bad and im over 30 days from injury. Is not having the surgery a mistake? had an mri to show the laceration of the muscle and severe nerve pain as well.
[|AI|]  Hello, In laceration, there is multiple fragment of muscles which is not easy to repair properly. Our body takes it own course & unite the damaged muscle properly. It may at least 3-4 weeks for complete healing. I know it is painful during recovery. But pain will not last forever you have to bear for few days only. You may ask for a good analgesic cover from your doctor for this period. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
