Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion it varies according to the degree or injury and the severity of the swelling and your body built whether muscular or fit . it usually takes not more than 3 weeks with proper management and treatment .
For my patients i may recommend NSAIDS like advil tab once daily , hot massaging with topical gels , avoid heavy lifting and vigorous movements , using an arm sling or a shoulder splint to decrease the swelling will be effective .
