Tore My ACL

by Molly
(USA)

I went down while going in for a layup during basketball season. I had an MRI and my doctor told me I tore my ACL. I'm having surgery in a month. After 3 weeks from injuring it, the pain in my knee was gone. It doesn't hurt when I walk or move it. I feel fine. I haven't had surgery yet or pt yet. Is it normal that my knee doesn't hurt anymore and that I can't feel pain? Is my ACL really torn?
