Depends type injury: Is the diagnosis clear? This is the key to your question. You will need imaging to clarify.

Depends: Depends on what the underlying damage or problem really is. If only a strain or sprain then mild injuries take 2-4 weeks and moderate injuries take 4-8 weeks. If not better by then time to figure out why
