I don't know if it takes longer to heal but I am sure it makes the fibro flare up more from having any trauma to your body. I hope it heals soon. Take care. Hugs

People with fibro do experience longer healing times when any muscle is involved. Strains, sprains, any inflammation with tendinitis, bursitis or arthritis.
