Twisted my knee, did I tear a ligament?!
Question: My snowboard got stuck in the snow and my body kept spinning. I felt my foot twist outward and twist my knee until I felt a sharp pain around the sides of my knee cap. It only hurt bad for a minute and it doesnt hurt to put weight on it or bend it, only when it twists a little. How long will it take to heal?

You didn't tear a ligament because if you had you couldn't stand on your foot and you would feel a great pain.
Put some ice on knee and it will heel within a week.
I have the same kind of thing right now I hurt my knee snowboarding on a high impact jump and I went to the doctor I could not walk or anything and they ordered an MRI I ended up having a torn Ligiment in my knee and they put a cast on it. I would go to an orthopedic surgon espacilay if it hurts after doing a lot of walking, they will probly do x-rays and order an MRI, but MRI's are very expensive and knee surgury is 35,000 dollars at least! but if t is not that bad it will probly take a week or wo to heal on its own.
