You didn't indicate whether or not you had your spleen surgically removed. However, 3 weeks is not a very long time to recover after such serious injuries. In the best case, it will take you several months to recover from your injuries.

As it is impossible to offer a specific diagnosis, or treatment recommendations, over the Internet, I would advise you to see your doctor if you feel that your recovery is not progressing well.
