I had a nasty crash during a motorcycle race and the side of my right knee took a hard blow. There was a lot of bruising and it had swollen up. I went to the doc who prescribed Motrin for the pain and Cephalexin. Now, a week later the knee is still a swollen but the bruise has faded quite a bit. However, I can barely walk. Whenever I change my leg's position from horizontal to vertical I have intense pain for a while. The swollen area seems like it has some fluid and the doc said it will be reabsorbed by the body.
My question is, how long will this type of injury take to heal? Any ideas how to speed up the healing process?
