How long does it take for abdominis rectus muscle tear to heal?

June 15, 2015
Asked By:Syed Akbar Ali in Malaysia

I hurt myself in the gym Nov 2014. Severe pain in lower abdomen. In December hurt myself again. I have been suffering pains and discomforts since (depending on my physical activity). I have had two hernia repairs (1990 and 2005). I am 55 yrs old. MRI showed I have 'chronic abdominis muscle tear'. The Dr said rest. No surgery or medication. I would like to ask how long will it take ro recover from this. Thank you. Syed A. Ali (Malaysia)
