I have fluid in the knee but no ligamant damage (had an mri). I play soccer, run and work out but it only swells the day after a soccer game. I think I strained it but I'm wondering how long I need to let it rest.

When I strained my knee, I was told it would take 6 - 8 weeks to heal. But I had soft tissue damage. The swelling went down in about a week and a half

When I injured my knee it took about 4 months and when i went back to the doctor he said it would never get back to a 100% so it also depends on the amount of damage done
