Healing time vary करता है case की severity पर। Mild cases: 2-4 weeks rest और conservative treatment से improve हो सकते हैं। Moderate cases: 6-12 weeks physical therapy और exercises के साथ। Severe/Chronic cases: 3-6 months या उससे ज्यादा लग सकते हैं। Important factors: कितनी जल्दी treatment start की, adherence to treatment plan, avoiding aggravating activities, proper rehabilitation। Note: भले ही pain improve हो जाए, tendons को fully heal होने में time लगता है। Too early return to activity से recurrence हो सकता है। Patience रखना जरूरी है। Complete healing होने तक maintenance exercises continue करें।

Healing time varies on case severity. Mild cases: Can improve in 2-4 weeks with rest and conservative treatment. Moderate cases: 6-12 weeks with physical therapy and exercises. Severe/Chronic cases: May take 3-6 months or more. Important factors: How early treatment was started, adherence to treatment plan, avoiding aggravating activities, proper rehabilitation. Note: Even if pain improves, tendons take time to fully heal. Too early return to activity can cause recurrence. Patience is necessary. Continue maintenance exercises until complete healing.

बिल्कुल नहीं! Ignore करना risky है। Short-term consequences: Pain progressively worse हो जाता है। Simple tasks भी difficult हो जाते हैं। Inflammation बढ़ता जाता है। Long-term complications: Chronic tendinosis develop हो सकता है - tendons permanently damaged। Range of motion limited हो सकती है। Grip strength permanently कम हो सकती है। Surgery की जरूरत पड़ सकती है। Compensatory injuries: दूसरे arm या shoulder को overuse से injury हो सकती है। Early treatment benefits: Faster healing। Better outcomes। Less chance of recurrence। Lower treatment costs। Red flags: अगर pain 2 weeks में improve नहीं हो रहा, या worse हो रहा है, तो immediately doctor को दिखाएं। Early intervention key है।

Absolutely not! Ignoring is risky. Short-term consequences: Pain progressively worsens. Even simple tasks become difficult. Inflammation keeps increasing. Long-term complications: Chronic tendinosis can develop - tendons permanently damaged. Range of motion may be limited. Grip strength may be permanently reduced. Surgery may be needed. Compensatory injuries: Other arm or shoulder may get injured from overuse. Early treatment benefits: Faster healing. Better outcomes. Less chance of recurrence. Lower treatment costs. Red flags: If pain doesn't improve in 2 weeks, or is getting worse, see doctor immediately. Early intervention is key.

यह depend करता है pain के type और severity पर। Acute pain (तेज दर्द): Exercise बंद करें। Rest, ice, elevation। Doctor को consult करें। Mild discomfort during exercise: Acceptable है if pain 2/10 से कम हो। Exercise के बाद pain immediately settle हो जाना चाहिए। Next day soreness normal है लेकिन sharp pain नहीं। Pain guidelines: "No pain, no gain" approach WRONG है। Pain body का warning signal है। Exercise के during या बाद में pain बढ़ता है तो stop करें। Safe approach: Gentle stretching से start करें। Gradually progress करें। Strengthening exercises तभी start करें जब pain-free हो। Listen to your body: अगर कोई exercise pain cause करती है, तो skip करें या modify करें। Physiotherapist से proper guidance लें।

This depends on type and severity of pain. Acute pain (sharp pain): Stop exercise. Rest, ice, elevation. Consult doctor. Mild discomfort during exercise: Acceptable if pain is less than 2/10. Pain should settle immediately after exercise. Next day soreness is normal but not sharp pain. Pain guidelines: "No pain, no gain" approach is WRONG. Pain is body's warning signal. If pain increases during or after exercise, stop. Safe approach: Start with gentle stretching. Progress gradually. Start strengthening exercises only when pain-free. Listen to your body: If any exercise causes pain, skip or modify it. Get proper guidance from physiotherapist.

Dono useful हैं but different situations में। ICE (Cold therapy): कब use करें: Acute inflammation (first 48-72 hours)। After activity or exercise। जब area swollen या hot हो। Benefits: Inflammation कम करता है। Pain relief। Blood flow temporarily कम करके swelling control। How: 15-20 minutes, हर 2-3 hours। Ice pack को towel में wrap करें। HEAT (Hot therapy): कब use करें: Chronic pain (2 weeks+ old)। Before exercise या activity। Stiffness के लिए। Benefits: Blood flow increase करता है। Muscles relax होती हैं। Flexibility improve होती है। How: 15-20 minutes। Warm compress या heating pad। General rule: Acute/Recent injury = Ice। Chronic/Stiff = Heat। कभी भी बहुत hot या cold avoid करें। अगर doubt है तो ice prefer करें।
