LCL Treatment: Depends on degree of injury. If any instability or pain w walking, I usually prescribe a hinged brace, unlocked to allow motion. If torn from bone or associated w other inures, might recommend surgery. If not already, suggest having sports med Ortho evaluate. Good luck. I'm in Reston if I can be of further help.

ACL: A pop at the time of injury followed by an inability to resume the activity and subsequent swelling, stiffness and pain are very common. Often a qualified orthopaedist will be able to confirm with physical examination. Finally, an MRI can be confirmatory and helpful to assess for other injuries.

ACL: You may be able to play at times but it is not advisable. Pivoting and jumping activities are likely to lead to further injuries which are not just painful and will result in the need for periods of recovery but also can lead to progressive damage to your knee and the development of arthritis.
