Suggest Treatment For Severe Knee Pain

A pressure point pain on the inside of my left knee.. Recent discomfort walking. Feels unstable as I walk. Injury occured after a recent hard run and similar to an old softball injury, I did not address. It does get better with ice, elevating and staying off of it.. I m thinking it s an ACL.. but it s not severe, so I m tempted to use a brace and monitor..
