If you have a torn ligament in your knee, you need to try really hard to not use your knee. It would be wise to go to physical therapy and consider getting in touch with a doctor that can monitor your progress. You may need six to eight weeks of therapy.

∙ 13y agoAssuming you meant to ask
'How long may it take a person to recover from tearing a ligament in his/her knee?':
I am led to believe from the experience of an acquaintance that, depending on which ligament, and / or how many ligaments, it can take over 3 months, possibly over 6 months, and I suppose if its bad enough, never (without an operation, or if unsuccessful). If you need an answer to the question I have assumed, I would recommend asking someone who can at least examine the person who has 'torn a knee ligament'. Else the question has little significance over 'how long is a piece of string?'

How long to wait after getting your ear lobes pierced to get your cartilage pierced?
I'd wait till your lobes are completely or nearly completely healed. Cartilage piercings take longer to heal and if your body is trying to heal your lobes AND cartilage at the same time, it'll take even longer for your cartilage to heal. So, 2-3 mths.

How long does cartilage take to heal?
When you pierce your cartilage, it is supposed to do a good job of healing. However, there are plenty of people who find that their cartilage piercings heal in a different way - with a keloid, or bump, on the back or front of the piercing.
Cartilage heals poorly and in many instances does not heal or recover at all after a severe injury Why not?
Cartliage take over a year to heal. When I got mine done it took about a year and a half to heal. This is because your cartilage doesn't produce it's own blood. So when you get it pierced it has to wait to get blood and oxygen from the rest of the body. So this of course is why it takes such a long time to heal
How long does it take for a cartilage piercing to heal?
Six to eight weeks or longer, cartilage is the slowest of all piercing to heal due to the lack of blood circulation in that area. So you need to be patient with the piercing and keep it clean other than that it's a matter of time.
Cartilage pierced 5 weeks agothe location of it bothers me the piercer didnt put it in the helix part of my ear but rather deeper in the cartilage. If i take it out will it heal totally?
Well you can remove it and the tissue portion of the piercing will heal however the incised cartilage will not heal. Cartilage doesn't heal like other areas of the body, it will develope a lump as it attempts to close and heal and this could last for weeks to months depending on the area. As for the duration of time you have had the piercing that's what makes the healing hard to judge. See in hospitals I.V.'s are relocated after 24 to 48 hours so that the body doesn't try to heal around the I.V. cath. Any time you exceed 48 hours your body will start to heal the piercing by forming a tissue tube around the jewellery. So I would guess if you remove the jewellery and leave it out all together it may heal but it will take a considerable period of time because it's cartilage and there is not the blood circulation in that area to support a shorter healing time. That's why cartilage piercings take so long to heal in the first place. Good luck.
