A thigh strain or quadriceps strain is a tear in one of the quadriceps muscles at the front of the thigh. It can range from a mild discomfort to a full blown tear of most of the muscle resulting in severe pain and inability to walk.
The breakage of the stitches starts within 2 weeks of the stitching but if you want the complete stitches to disappear then the process of hydrolysis or the enzymes in our body do that in a period of 60 days and therefore it approximately takes up to 2 months for the stitches to get dissolved.
5. Will the stitches fall out by themselves? Most of the time the doctor will put in resorbable stitches. They do resorb slowly in time but more often the stitches soften up and break one by one. Most of the time the doctor will put in more stitches than needed. The motion of the mouth (eating, talking) can loosen the stitches. If the stitches do fall out and thereâs no bleeding not to worry. It can take a few days up to 2-3 weeks for the stitches to fall out. 6. What kind of activities should I be doing/not doing? You should âlay lowâ for one to two weeks. Minimal activities with bed rest are recommended. You should drink lots of fluids during this time. Do not work out at the gym or play sports activities for at least 3 weeks.
