A member asked:
How long does it take for bone bruise around knee to heal? should you avoid playing sports on it within the days following injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weeks: A bone bruise can take several weeks, up to 6 - 8 weeks to heal. I would avoid sports for 1 - 2 weeks, then gradually resume, and back off again if symptoms return. Good luck!
