Replying to Dear Dr. NS...(MCL stuff)

I hurt my knee during soccer season this year. I went to a doctor. He said I had a very minor mcl tear and that i would need to go easy for 3-6 weeks (wear a brace during gym/workouts). So I followed that and this past friday, which would have been during the eighth weeek since seeing the doctor, I kind of tweaked it again. I've been icing it a lot since then, but Seven Springs will be opening soon and I'm worried skiing on it will be sketchy. I don't know what to do. If I go back to the doctor and get an mri I would imagine he'll either say I'm good, 3-6 weeks, or surgery. I will probably end up doing that, but I just wanted to know if anyone is currently or has ever been in the same situation and/or has any recommendations.
