I hurt my knee while playing football. doctor said i have a torn ligament but not sure because haven't take any xray.what should i do?

MRI: X-rays will only show bony trauma. Physical exam first then MRI to determine which ligament (or cartilage) could be injured. This will then determine treatment, non-surgical or surgical.
