Thanks in advance to the amazing doctor forum

Collagen supplements can help support tendon and soft-tissue healing once the acute pain has settled, as in your case. They work by providing amino acids needed for connective tissue repair but are not a stand-alone cure. A hydrolyzed collagen supplement taken daily with vitamin C for 8â12 weeks is usually sufficient. Benefits are gradual and best seen when combined with rest and a slow return to strengthening. If pain persists or worsens, further medical review is advised.
