How Long Will The Lacerated Spleen To Heal?
I am 17 years old 6 1 200 lbs. I lacerated my spleen playing football 8 weeks ago.. 3 weeks in i was working out and had no pain. I had a grade 3 out of 5 laceration. I lacerated 1/3 of my spleen and had it surgically repaired. Do you think i will get cleared in another 6 weeks for contact?
