MCL pain still after 7 weeks / Chronic Bursitis / Compartment Syndrom(syndrome)

I injured my MCL ligament of my left knee (my traumatologist tells me it's a tendon, not ligament, I guess doctors call it that here in Bolivia) playing baseball (sliding). When sliding properly, your left knee is supposed to form a "4" with your right leg and in my case, the day of the accident, my left leg and knee twisted to the the other side (left)
causing me terrible pain together with a twisted ankle.

The doctor diagnosed me Chronic Bursitis after an ultrasound taken and a knee rotation-mobility test. After 3 weeks of practically staying home taking care of the injury (I took non anti-inflammatories for 4
days) there were complications and developed a Compartment Syndrom (syndrome) on my lower leg. The
doctor injected me Cortison on the ligament area then continued with the antinflamatories and local Heparin cream. I was in observation for 4 days, otherwise the doctor was going to operate (fasciectomy). I was in terrible pain, couldn't keep myself standing because of the blood wouldnt circulate back and this produced painful
compression on my calves so I had to stay in bed until recently. It's been 7 weeks since
the accident, the pain subsided however the nflamation in my lower leg is still notorious. The ligament (MLC) however, still produces pain every time I flex my leg. I read that taking anti-inflamatory drugs was not the wise thing to do because they interfere with the natural healing process of the body. Im concerned about this and also
if it's normal for my knee to still hurt when flexing and the swelling of my lower leg
if normal after 4 weeks. Please advise. Thank You very much.
