Not a "doc" but, I thought ligaments did not have blood supply and did not heal with time, no? They are the "bump-stops" for bone over-rotation. I thought that they can only be "cured" by stapling them to the bone end if they tear loose, or what the body does at last resort..training the muscle to only stretch so far.

Tendons will heal faster with vitamins(without iron) and tai-chi/richard simmons in the morning to get that synovial fluid (joint oil pressure) going. Overhydration is rare as well.
A quick recovery will keep the musclulature system balanced and you'll not get cartilage that's unevenly worn later on in life.
