How long does a knee sprain take to heal?

Like any musculoskeletal injury, the healing process varies greatly, depending mostly on the severity of the injury and how well the person takes it easy. I would count on at least several weeks. At least early in the injury, periodic icing probably helps. Good luck

Do not forget you must do strengthening exercises before returning back to full activity. This will help protect you from another injury.
