Have Pain In Knee. Had A Hit During Soccer. MRI Test Done. What To Do Now?
two years ago, I was playing soccer and I turned one direction and my knee turned the other direction. I was in a lot of pain but it stopped. I tried to play soccer 4 weeks after and I planted my knee on the field and it wasn't level and my knee buckled and I fell down in pain. I went for a MRI and the doctor said that I have a torn ACL but I don't believe it. I can run and do leg exercises pain free. I only have problems when I plant my leg foot and the field is not level. What should I do?

Hello,
You should in the first place understand the nature of the injury.
There are many structures in the knee to hold the knee joint in place.
ACL is one structure which prevents the slipping forwards.
Absence of pain doesn't mean that the knee is ok.
The long term complications are instability of the knee and arthritis.
It is correctable at early stages.
Consult your doctor for more help.
