ACL sucks
-
to give some perspective, mine is almost certainly at least partially torn (had it checked out, just haven't had the MRI to confirm). And i just have a dead spot in my range of motion with my knee, i can still run and do almost everything, but at like the very bottom of a squat lift my left knee just disappears, and has 0% strength.

I partially tore mine back in college and its been just fine so far, i do stay pretty active and there is always the chance that it might go on me. The rehab is not that bad I was on the athletic training staff the season the bison football team had 7 cruciate ligament tears in the first two games so I got to spend some time with a lot of the guys that were rehabbing. If you tore it completely, and have insurance get the surgery. iirc you are still in high school so no worries about down time from work so why not get it fixed?

Well, little update here since the MRI was today and was told the results and what is going to be done for my situation...MRI was easy enough..no problems..fell asleep..and relaxed..my dad and I went and checked out motorcycles around town and I have since then fallen in love with a 2004 Kawasaki Ninja 250 and its sexy, everything is going to be just fine for me, the doc. says that I sprained it pretty badly, its like a really bad bruise is what happened...So yup, no surgery is needed whatsoever, im happy and im just going to need to go through some P.T.
