Bruising and swelling are normal in the suctioned areas and usually increase slightly after the removal of any tape or foam. The bruising will decrease over 3-4 weeks, but may last as long as 6 weeks. The majority of the swelling will be gone within the first 3-4 weeks. However it may take 6-9 months to disappear completely.
Immediately after the strain, rest the leg in an elevated position for up to 5 days. Apply ice packs to the injured area for 20 minutes every two hours, especially during the first 48 to 72 hours. Those who have a Grade 1 injury of light severity can often return to full activity after only 3 days of treatment. Full recovery, though, normally takes up to 3 weeks. Grade 2 injuries can require up to 6 weeks and Grade 3 injuries -- after repair -- could take up to 12 weeks of recovery and physical therapy.
