I tore something in my knee when during football a few years ago. It didn't require surgery, but took about 2 months to recover to where I could play.

depends what happened...knees arnt easy to fix depending whats wrong.

Wish you luck...you probabbly just inflamed something.

I didn't even know I tore my meniscus or my ACL until I was told that. My MCL was the only thing that hurt.

how the fuck can u tell what part hurt

The inside of my knee was the ony part of my knee that hurt to touch. The outside of my knee hurt more when I initially hurt it, but I had a full tear of my ACL and apparently when that happens it tears nerve endings with it. Doctor said I was lucky or else I would have been in a ton of pain.

I tore my ACL, MCL and meniscus in february playing lacrosse and had surgery in early march, as of today i am still going to PT twice a week but i am to the point where i can run long-distance(over a mile) fine now without really even noticing the knee i hurt, my biggest osbtacle is how wasted my cardio system is from 3 months of inactivity.
Specifically my injury was:
ACL- completely torn, reconstrcted w/ hamstring graft
MCL- slight tear, healed itself
meniscus- 1.5 mm anterior tear was repaired, 2 mm medial tear was shaved off.

The first few weeks after surgery really suck, but it starts to get get better really fast, feel free to PM me with any specific questions.
