Once a muscle is damaged, it can become the source of a great deal of pain. The resulting scar tissue is weaker, less elastic, and highly prone to re-injury. Your muscles however, do not actually heal with muscle tissue, but with “foreign” substances including collagen.
It’s as good as new or even better-the bone anyway… The fractured bone is set, his leg is placed in a cast, and after the requisite amount of time, the cast is removed.
Lloyd, for example, breaks his leg and strains (pulls) several muscles in a skiing accident. If you fracture a bone, as long as it is set and fixed in place properly, it will tend to heal so thoroughly that it will become stronger than it was before the fracture!īone tissue heals with calcium and other minerals, components of bone, in a process that creates a bond that is as strong or stronger than the original bone structure.
Your muscles heal very differently than your bones.
