Knee Ligament Injury
27 days back, my knee got injured when I slipped on stairs. Swelling started appearing on my knee. I went to doctor. After x ray it was found that there was ligament injury on my knee. Doctor applied plaster of 21 days.
Plaster was removed after 21 days. Swelling was less after removing the plaster. Doctor suggested me to soak my legs two times in a day in hot water and also use creepe bandage in day time. Now it is 7 days after removal of plaster. Swelling decreased but not recovered 100%. Also I am still not able to stand.
I want to know how much time it will take to recover fully. As it is already 28 days, I am still feeling pain when I am trying to put weight on my right injured leg. Is there any way to recover faster?

It is not possible to diagnose the ligaments injury on x rays, secondly ligament injury can not be cured by plaster..need to get MRI done and have to evaluate your knee clinically
