How long should wait to start running again after a injury?

Question:

It happened two days ago (Tuesday) afternoon when I went out to go running for excercise. And I trip on a crack on the sidewalk, fell on my right knee and hands. I skinned my knee pretty badly that now its just all white than my usual tanned skin. It bleeded a lot but I bandaged it and put antibiotics. It's not that bad when I walk, I just cant walk as fast so I'm sort of limping at times and I cant bend it back all the way because it hurts. So how long should I wait before it fully heals so I can run again? Hopefully not a long time, I need to run to excercise or I feel a lot of guilt for not running for a long time.

Answers:
You need to go see a doctor and have your knee xrayed.You might have injuries inside your knee.I fell when I was younger down some stairs and landed on one of my knees,I didnt go to the doctor,now I have severe arthritis in my knee from the old wound they tell me.So please have it xrayed.
