I would definately not ride or play until you see the Ortho.  I am guessing you went to go see your Family Doctor first.  I totally severed my ACL from where it connects to the shin.  It pulled totally off the bone.  My family doctor said 'yeah, you tore something, go see Dr. so and so, he's a Orthopedic, listen to him"  It wasn't in those exact words, but that's what I heard.  The knee is a serious joint, if you don't take care of it, it will definately come back to haunt you.  Listen to what the Ortho says, he is your best bet.  Definately do all the exercises he tells you to do religously.  Take your vitamins and drink your milk.  Every little bit helps.  My next step is to order a set of Asterisk knee braces once it feels strong enough to ride again.

It will be 13 weeks tomorrow since I injured my knee, and I am about 70%.  My ortho said I am about a month ahead of his schedule and that is due to just plain old hard work at those little exercises that they tell you to do.  They sure feel dumb when I am doing them, but it seems to be working.  Good luck!:cool:
