If you have been DIAGNOSED (by MRI) with an ACL rupture, you should be referred to an orthopedic surgeon. They will schedule you for surgery (if you are young, this is important to minimize the risk for osteoarthritis or other common complications) and therapy. This is usually a 4-6 month rehabilitation period an A LOT OF WORK. Follow your rehab specialist's or surgeon's advice! They know what they are talking about and they are looking out for your best interests. As an athletic trainer, I can't count the number of times patients have suffered from not following instructions.
