Question - Torn ACL (pivot shift, pop, and swelling)

Okay, so around July 10 I did exactly what was explained in the article about most common ACL tears, I went to turn and my foot didn't but my upper leg did, it "popped" and it swelled up and hurt.

I went to the doctor and he didn't really think much of it, but I was dancing the other night and it started to grind really bad when i would twist, it was hurting. Now two days later its hurts even worse and I can't put much weight on it or keep it in the same position for very long or it starts to hurt. Its not swollen right now, it just hurts really bad.(On a scale of 1-10 I would say about a 8)

Could I have torn my ACL?
