Can You Still Tear Your ACL Without Hearing Or Feeling
Can you still tear your ACL without hearing or feeling a "pop"?
I was injured in a basketball game. I hyperextended, and twisted. My orthopedic surgeon suspects and ACL tear, however there was no pop, and I could still was on it with a limp. It swelled instantly. What does an ACL tear feel like after a couple days? It has been 4 days since mine happened and my knee is still swollen and tight.
My main questions are:
-Even though it didn't essentially "pop", could it still be torn?
-Is it normal that I'm not in too much pain after 4 days?
Thank you!
