Has anybody torn their quadricep tendon before?
I have a partial tear shown by an MRI and wanted to know if 6 weeks of no running sounds about right, or is that a conservative diagnosis.
Thanks.

3 years ago I had a partially torn quadricep tendon. I injured it the week of a big race, so I did nothing the whole week except ice it. Then being maybe a bit hard core I decided to race the hilly road race, so that did not help in my recovery. TO answer the question it took 7 weeks of no running to get recovered. After a month the doctor gave me some Vioxx and that seemed to help alot. I was able to cross train 2-3 hours aday. hope this helps
