How Long Does It Take For A Minor Sprained Knee To Heal?
Question: how long does a knee sprain take to heal? can a sprain hurt where I am pointing ? can it hurt when you walk and touch. i had no swelling and can walk.
Brief Answer:
Usually heals in 2-3 weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A knee sprain usually heals in 2-3 weeks if proper rest is provided. It cannot cause a pain at the middle of the thigh. It usually does not pain on touching. A deep pressure on the area or walking can cause a pain. But this all subsides in 2-3 weeks after the injury.
If there is no swelling and you can walk without a pain then it can be a soft tissue injury in the area you are pointing. This can be due to a muscle spasm also. A hot compress and local analgesic gel should help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
