zippy Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm just messing.I'm completely accident prone, and pulls/strains tend to be much better within a couple of days to a couple of weeks.When the swelling settles you can get a better feel for the damage. I'd suggest scorching hot bath for ages, then sit with an ice-pack on it, best way I've found of helping with these kind of injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 You might as well chop it off. At least then you'll get parking perks and free road tax!Yep, could be months. Get to a physio for advice.R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash24 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 ever pulled their ligaments in their knee???and how long does it take to mend???its killing me not being able to drive my lupo any info would be appreciated xxxxi feel for you! i did this 4 years ago, funnily enough it wasnt a football accident, i got tripped over at school and my foot got caught around a table and there it went, i can laugh about it now lol. thankfully it wasnt one of the worst cases, i wasnt walking properly for about 3 weeks, i didnt play football for another 7 months though i was 17 at the time as well and it cut out valuable driving lesson time!

orla Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 i tore ligaments in my ankle a few years ago and was on crutches for almost 2 months, all you can do is rest up really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
academic Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 medial ligaments can range from 2/3 weeks to about 2 months i thinkcan only rest but keep moving otherwise it will stiffen upso gentle walking etc but no heavy exercise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
