Is my acl torn?

i supposedly have torn my acl, but i can walk still with some trouble. is it torn, or is it something else?

with a torn ACL, you are still able to walk. although it's better to stay off of it of course.

its could be partially torn
acl is hard to tear right off
believe me i know
it could heal on its own but i would suggest going to the doctor to get it looked at just in case

I have snapped my ACL, and within 3 days I could walk on it fine (week until it looked like nothing had happened). So it is possible that you have torn it. Although you would know in certain circumstances because of the pain.
You might of done some damage around the Meniscus but you should go to a knee specialist and get it checked out. It will help you in the long run, trust me.
