Wait for tests: Sprain is a injury to the ligaments around the knee if there just stretching of the ligaments and no tear then in 10 days it may heal and you can start doing activities if there is rupture of the ligaments then it will take up to 6 or 8 weeks to heal and you at even need surgery so it is not possible to make a definite recommendation with out knowing all the details and examining you good luck.
