RE: got the bad news
I had a reconstructive surgeryon my ACL added 2 screws and was getting around without crutches in 2 weeks. A few years later same knee hadto scope the MCL and the next day walked all over Chicago. I suggest taking your time and let the swelling go away before being very active.
Don't go with any doctor, Get a doctor that specializes in sports injuries!! I had one of the best doctors in Nashville who works with the olympic gymnist and several pro football teams.
