I was in a car accident about two weeks ago and ever since then, my knee has been hurting. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said it's probably because of the impact on bone bruising from the injury. They believe it's other things too but they just don't know what they are yet. He prescribed some pain killers to help with the issue but that won't happen for a few days or so. I'm hoping that it will get better soon but I know that this will probably take a while to go away.

I hope this all goes away soon for you. How long does it last? | Answer | Date: 2006-04-28 11:21:52 It hurts a lot and I'm going nuts trying to find ways to fix this. I can't wait until it's gone because I'm already starting to dread walking around. Right now I don't have that much pain and only time will tell if my knee will eventually recover or not. I'm really hoping that it will and that I won't end up having to get knee surgery. I don't know how long this will last though. I'd like to know too because I'm wondering how fast this will go away and what the recovery time is going to be like.
