ACL Tears

06/25/2009
So you wonder what you should feel if you have a torn acl. From experience having a partial tear on my left knee in 2001 and a complete tear in 2008 and another in my right knee in 2009.
If you hear a loud pop when the injury occurs, if your knee swells within 1 hour of the injury, if you feel like you leg will give out, if you feel unbearble pain when you walk.
These are the first symptoms you will have when you tear your acl.
Now you might be thinking if you should go to the doctor.
You shouldn't wait long since orthopedic can diagnose you and give you a treatment, medication and order xrays and MRI if needed.
