A member asked:
About 2 weeks ago i fell at work and landed on my knee. i have seen multiple doctors and all say its just a contusion. how long does a contusion last?

6-8 weeks: A bony contusion can certainly last 6-8 weeks. Xrays are appropriate to make sure there is no fracture. If not improving with conservative care, then an MRI may be needed.
