    Usually, ACL tears will calm down and you will be able to walk on it within a few weeks. However, if your knee is still unstable, you will most likely require surgery. But then again, there are a bunch of different factors, including your age and activity level. I'd recommend seeing an orthopedist. Also, here's an article I wrote about ACL's.

    We are not doctors. That is a question for your doctor! Ask them, and they can evaluate you for sure, and are the only one who should tell you the answer to this.
