How long do pulled knee ligaments take to heal?I fell on some ice on my steps on wed, I did not have much pain at the time but by thur night I was in severe pain I went to the ER they said I had pulled ligaments they put me in a immobilizer brace and told me too rest the leg and apply ice I have a appointment with the orthopedic on wed but I am still in a lot of pain especially with movement and walking. how long will this take to heal and how long will I be out of work.

You will be able to walk within a few days.....however, doing so will cause the ligaments to not heal the correct way, causing it to be easier to pull the ligaments again. In order for it to FULLY heal, you should stay off of it for atleast a month......I would suggest crutches. Good luck.
