Ligament Strain

2019-06-27 17:41:03
I got an injury while playing Football. Nothings shows up in Xray, doctor says it's a ligament strain and it will take up to 6weeks to recover. It's already been 5weeks and I do not feel much recovery. Also by when I'll be able to resume my activities like playing sports and gyming? How long does ligament strain take to completely recover?
