Replying to ACL's
i know most people will recomend i go to a doctor instead of asking newschoolers. im going wednesday, but im curious and i want to know more about this before i go visit my doctor, or maybe this has happened to someone else on here. i have torn my acl before in my other knee so i know what it feels like to tear it.
so this past weekend i felt "the pop"(i didnt hear it like i did last time though)after just making the rotation around while doing a 7 over a jump. my inside right edge awkwardly got caught in the landing(i spun left). ive had all the same symptoms as last time, but i did the lachmans test on myself(its the only test i know how to do) and it seems to be holding up just as well as my left acl. also, the swelling in my knee is almost all down only after 2 days of the incident, while it took about 2 weeks for my knee's swelling to go away last time i tore the other. I can also put a lot more weight on it than i was able to compared to last time i tore my other acl and can almost walk perfectly fine. so i have 2 questions for you guys.
1. are these all signs of only a partial tear?
2. if it is partially or even completely torn, do you guys think it would be ok for me to wear a brace and film the rest of the season(about 2 months)?
