How did i tear my acl?!


Question: How did i tear my acl.?
ok so on sunday i went to play basketball and i went to touch the rim and came down on it funny, i didn't notice it hurt at all. So the next day its swolen up to double the size of my other one. I went to the doctor and he said i tore my acl. thats weird i think because i thought i would have felt it but he said some people don't notice that it even happend. so today the swelling went down and it doesn't nearly as bad so im beginnning to wonder if it's not really torn because it doesn't hurt nearly as bad. Im going to the doctor tomorrow to get a second opinion then a MRI. Before i go, i kinda want to know what im expecting please help.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I tore my meniscus years ago (which is basically the same as the ACL). I don't know how or when, but the pain is coming really bad now. I must have thought it was a sprain and ignored it. So now it's really bad and there's a cyst on it.

These injuries are really weird, it may not hurt anymore, but it can do a lot of damage in the future. I got an MRI and everything, and they confirmed everything and now they are planning surgery for me.

My friend had to get surgery on her ACL and 2 weeks later she was walking and about a month/2 months later she's wearing heals and going to dances.

Everything will be fine, and if you need surgery, it's not that big of a deal, it's very common and you leave the hospital the day you go in, and you're walking only days later.

Good luck :)Health Question & Answer
