It depends on patient to patient.. normally it takes 2 weeks approx.. Ice pack at home helps in subsiding pain & inflammation. Physio techniques, ultrasonics, kinesio taping helps effectively. Sessions should b continued uptil pain subsides. Strengthening part can b done after recovery of pain condition.
