Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Inflammation and muscle injury, at times infection, may prolong the recovery in some.
There is no other way but to improve / he should - it is a question of time.
Anxiety may add on...
Physical and Psychological rehabilitation will hasten.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
