Question:
How long sould it take to heal?
i was riding my dirtbike and i came of a jump and landed it on the front wheel and the jolt from impact made my knee hurt so i limped inside. and it is not swollen but it is sensative to pressure and i can put very little amount of weight on it. I put ice on it then i bandaged it in a bent position with a ace bandage and i have been using crutches where ever i go. this happened last night what else sould i do. i do NOT take pills. and i am NOT going to go to the doctor if it is not broken!! and i dont think it is broken because if it was i would not be able to ANY weight on it. so what sould i do??
Answers:
You said that you can only put very little weight on it and that you have to use crutches to walk, that doesn't sound like a minor injury to me. Believe me, you don't need to break a bone to do serious damage to your knee. The ligaments that hold your knee together could be torn and this has to be ruled out. If these injuries are not fixed as soon as possible, there is a very good chance of it getting worse and costing you a lot more pain and money in the end.
