A member asked:
I sprained my lcl 4 weeks ago, how long to heal completely ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Between2 and6 weeks: For a mild grade 1 sprain it may take 2-3 weeks to heal for a grade 2 sprain , it will likely take about 4-6 weeks to heal for a grade 3 sprain, you will likely be out for 6-8 weeks. Obviously these are estimates and each case varies with the patient and the activity that they will be returning to.
