I have no idea... I had a look online and it suggest immobilisation for a grade 3 tear. Obviously your doctor and physio have seen the injury though.

Yes but I not happy with there treatment

If you have had a scan...did they not give you suggestions for treatment when you got your scan results?

What did the consultant suggest?

[Garden17]

Not seen a consultant yet that next Tuesday there so slow

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Garden17]

It is slow.. I was 12 Weeks waiting for a scan and then the results..Just rest ad when you see the consultant... he/she will advise you on the treatment. Until then.. no running... and try not to worry. It is hard...he will give you the correct advice.

At this rate are never run again

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Garden17]

Many athletes do heal and do run again... patience, until you know what is what

Tuesday is not long just try and keep your weight off it as much as possible until then.

Or get an emergency appointment with your GP in the morning, maybe they can hurry things up for you
