Ligaments attach bones to other bones. They generally have a more limited blood supply than either muscle or tendon – lengthening their healing time.

Aaron Rodgers hurt his “funny bone” and it initially looked worse than it was. The injury is neither funny (quite painful) nor is it a bone (ulnar nerve).

Vitamin C – also known as ascorbic acid, is a key vitamin for ligament repair and collagen production. It is recommended to increase your intake of vitamin C immediately after an injury to help support the healing process as it directly assists in wound healing and tissue repair.

Below are the various body parts that take the longest as well as a general time period of what to expect:

• Nerves typically take the longest, healing after 3-4 months.
• Cartilage takes about 12 weeks to heal.
• Ligaments take about 10-12 weeks to heal.
• Bones take about 6-8 weeks to heal on average.

Why does recovery take so long? Unlike muscle tissue, tendons don’t get a significant supply of blood. Blood delivers fluid and nutrients that are essential for healing. The less blood delivered, the longer it takes for tissue to heal.

Unfortunately, the scaphoid bone has a track record of being the slowest or one of hardest bones to heal.

The inactivity may have stiffened the soft tissue around the injury and weakened the muscles. In addition to this, scarring and inflammation may have developed in the soft tissue while the fracture was healing. This may cause pain as well, and may make it difficult to move.

Leg bones are usually some of the strongest in the body and it takes a big impact such as a serious fall or a car accident for them to break. A fracture that occurs lower down the femur is classed as a broken leg rather than hip and is one of the most painful breaks to experience.

The ends of your fingers are more sensitive to pain than almost any other part of the body, according to an Annals of Neurology study. That’s why tiny injuries like paper cuts and finger pricks can cause a grown man to wince.

Top 5 Vulnerable Pressure Points To Hit An Attacker & Escape

• Eyes. Poking someone sharply in the eye with a finger or other object can cause temporary or permanent blindness.
• Groin. This is probably the single most painful place for either a man or woman to be hit.
• Adam’s Apple.
• Knee caps.
• Temples.

10 of the Least Painful Places to get Tattooed

• Calves.
• Ear Cartilage.
• Outer Thigh.
• Gluteus.
• Forearm.
• Bicep.
• Lower Back.
• Inner Wrist. You may be surprised at this ranking, but the inner wrist is arguably one of the least painful places to receive a tattoo since the area is not as boney and the skin is relatively thin.

Are there ways to minimize the pain?

1. Choose a licensed tattoo artist. Experienced artists usually take less time to finish tattoos.
2. Pick a less sensitive body part. Talk to your artist about placement.
3. Get enough sleep.
4. Avoid pain relievers.
5. Don’t get a tattoo when you’re sick.
6. Stay hydrated.
7. Eat a meal.
8. Avoid alcohol.
