Ligament belongs to soft tissue. After soft tissue injury, its regeneration ability is weak, and it is difficult to repair itself. It is more difficult to treat than fracture. It is not helpful to repair soft tissue injury by resting or rubbing some safflower oil, Yunnan Baiyao and detumescence and analgesic essence.

It is recommended to use pure Chinese medicine to treat ligament injuries within one to three months. Generally, external application of Chinese medicine can basically heal in about 30 to 40 days. If it exceeds the injury within three months to six months, the treatment effect will be worse, and the treatment time will be relatively prolonged. If it exceeds one year, the cure rate will only be about 60%. I suggest that the sooner you treat it, the better. The longer you delay it, the more troublesome it will be. Avoid eating soft tissue injury diet: cock, carp, sour bamboo shoots, beef, ginger, etc., and use western medicine with caution, especially hormone-containing drugs. It is not advisable to move the affected joints too much, so as not to aggravate the injury.
