I'm sooo bummed 
just sprained (I guess that's what you'd call it) my knee - looks like LCL - from an impact accident mountain biking (first *real MTB accident in seven years of riding and then I had two of them back to back three days apart both slamming the same knee)
So I'm out of commission biking, had just started running again too, can't squat or do stairs but can get around, light/gentle walking ok I don't think there's any point seeing a Dr. as they'll likely just tell me to R.I.C.E. it and while it's painful/swollen it doesn't appear to be torn. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a speedy recovery? wahhh. Trying not to devolve into full pity party
Any one have an idea the typical healing time for an injury like this? 3 - 4 weeks? Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.
