In a lot of pain near my ACL...please help me!?

I have a question... are you planning on having surgery to repair it or did you have it already? I have worked at a PT clinic and dealt with this stuff a lot. If you haven't had surgery then you may have damaged some of your meniscus or ACL more. If you have had surgery and this happened, well that is just really not good and you probably re-tore your ACL. I would call up your physical therapist or doctor and get his/her advice. As far as treating the pain, icing it for 20-30 minutes every 2-3 hours and taking ibuprofen is really all you can do for now. Good luck!
