I can't straighten my legs x rays showed nothing wrong er doc says i just bruised them & for me to rest & ice them how long will it take to get better?

MRI knee may help: Do you mean you can't straighten your knee? Any recent trauma? If yes, a MRI of the knee may help to detect for potential ligament or meniscal tear or joint body that may prevent full knee extension.
