Hello, Thanks for your query. As you are able to bear weight on the legs and your xrays are negative for fractures, a major bony injury can be ruled out. Generally, soft tissue contusions (muscles,ligaments) takes around 3 weeks to return to normalcy. * Use ice packs to temporarily suppress the pain * Once the acute pain subsides, use moist heat compressions to relax the muscles * Judiciously use analgesics and muscle relaxants * local analgesic gel application I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
