Xen, take it from me who played soccer, who during a game left my feet with the ball while somebody hit me and twisted my knee. I went down in a heap. The doctors at the hospital told me all I did was sprain it. Yeah, right. I actually tore my ACL and it got progressively worse. I have had three operations including reconstructive. I have lost my inner miniscus due to years of instability and now I have bone on bone and arthritis. I am looking at a future knee replacement. So my advice is: DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU GET A SECOND OPINION. GO TO A SPECIALIST A.S.A.P. I SPEAK FROM VOLUMES OF EXPERIENCE (and pain). I AM PAYING A BIG PRICE DUE TO MIS-DIAGOSIS. I hope this helps and that you'll heed this warning. Don't mess with your future. You are in pain which means your body is telling you something. My sporting days are completely over except for bike riding and swimming.
Although that is a great warning to give to help Xen out, I don't think it would exactly cheer him up
Don't worry Xen, at 16, your body can 'repair' itself pretty quickly. Just get a second opinion like Albromor said, and good luck. Hope you feel better [img]smile.gif[/img]
