Worried about MRI results.

About 2 and half weeks ago I messed my knee up pretty bad. I was playing some football and I went out to reach and touch the guy with the ball...I was running towards him and came to a sudden stop and heard the loud popping of my knee and my knee instantly felt pain and then a sort period of numbness. I tried walking it off...and about 5 minutes later was back in the game. I went to plant to throw the ball with the knee I had first hurt. It about dropped me to the ground with the pain.

I have gone through 2 weeks of Physical Therapy and I went back to the doctors. He pulled on my leg and said it felt really loose and was pulling away from my shin. I go in this week sometime for the MRI and Im kind of freaking. I run track in college, and cant afford to be out for a season with recovery. But I also want to fix this problem if it is the torn ACL.

Some of the things that have gone wrong with my knee over the last two weeks are; swelling, pain when bending, alot of popping while walk(it feels like my shin pulls away), I have it braced but the pressure of the brace annoys me. Im having problems with my quad being really tight above my knee. Please any thing will help, let me know if any of you had these signs of a torn ACL.
