I suppose u already have an MRI advised by an Orthopedician which has revealed ACL tear..
Need to know if there is still a swelling of the knee, extent of ACL tear, any associated ligament injury which needs attention..
Then decide upon treatment..
U need to support ur knee. Make it clear how much tear do u have. If it is not complete tear then support knee joint and also use ice on it if u have swelling. Then also visit to the Physiotherapist.
