How do you go about caring or healing of a torn ligament without a Dr.'s care?

when i did all i did was massage it and stretch it and it was ok

A:: That answer is incorrect. That only works if you've just sprained something. A torn ligament is better to just rest it and NOT stretch it anymore than you have to or you could cause more damage. But if you can stand it put some heat on it and massage it some. Try getting in a hot bath and rubbin it. It'll feel better, but you still shouldn't try using it. Everyone hates hearin this, but it'd be better if you went to a doctor about it. Ya might make it worse if you don't get help.. If your a runner like me, you'll want to get it fixed. So GO!!!

To avoid surgical means, do hope that your torn ligament still retain its blood supply (not destroyed during the impact of injury).

I have ligament injury in both wrists after a bad fall from a karate sparring, and in the midst of visiting a doctor specialised in sport medicine.

I advise you to start on Glucosamine Sulphate and Collagen supplement, which theorically are what make up the ligament, so it might help. Consume Vitamin C-rich foods too, for they allow synthesis of collagen.

Do very light exercises, it act both as a stress stimulus to strengthen your ligament and stimulate blood flow to promote healing, and use heat therapy (such as heating pad or the hot bath the guy above said). It improve the extensibility of the ligament, and stimulate blood flow via vasodilatation.

The best way -> Visit a sport doctor and request for prolotherapy, which involve injecting irritants in the area of injury to promote controlled, localised inflammation (much unlike chronic inflammation that damage tissues) which promote thickening and regrowth of ligament.
