the weird things the doctors told me about my knee

I was at work on december 28th or 29th of 2009 and i was ringing out a customer, when all of a sudden i turned to put a case of water in a cart and i heard and felt a loud pop from my knee. It was an instant pain and my knee was swelling as soon as it happened, and i could not put any weight on my leg. Well my job didnt send me to the doc until 2 months later when the workmans comp doctor told me that i had ALS(from the results of an mri) . So i went to my clinic where the doc said that is sounds like a torn acl (after doing the lachaman test) well he sent me for my second mri (that i had to pay $2345 for) which showed a small cyst like knot in my knee. But what i dont get is that alot of the things that i researched about my knee is that is sounds like a torn acl, it still hurts like all hell 7 months later.
