Answers:

you need to see an orthopedic and have them give your knee an mri. depending on the intensity of the tear it may not be able to heal with out surgery and proper rehabilitation. and then you can make it worse.

tore my acl as a freshman in highschool playins soccer right before championships. no one believed me not even my parents and i had to go 6 months without an acl. it was completely gone. the whole school was against me and i had to endure so much harassament. I kept trying to play any way and every time i would go to run my knee would slide backwards. finally i convinced my doctor to do a knee scope and that was when he probably hit himself in the head and said "i am such an IDIOT" then i got a bad staph infection and then my mom decided to leave my dad and so i didnt get to finish physical therapy. needless to say i could never play soccer again. it kills my knees to run even a little bit any more. so please go get it checked out and if they dont see anything wrong and you KNOW something is wrong, fight for it, insist on a scope.
