Hi
I hurt my knee (LCL ligament) cycling about 2.5 months ago, but swelling still persists. Is it normal to have swelling for almost 10 weeks? The knee still feels weak and is occasionally painful if I take the stairs or jog. Should I continue taking Ibuprofen? Would it be a good idea to follow the exercises outlined here: Summit Medical Group - Lateral Collateral Ligament Sprain Exercises ?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.
Kate
