I'm a bit worried because yesterday I collided with someone while playing football and hit my chest pretty hard with my fist. I used a cold pack right away, and the pain seemed to lessen, but this morning it was back just as bad. There's no redness or pain when I breathe, but if I move or stretch, like getting out of bed, it really hurts. Sometimes it even hurts when I cough hard. I've been taking dolo after meals in the morning and at night, and I'm using belladonna plaster along with hot water pack treatments twice a day. Should I go see a doctor right away, or is it okay to monitor the pain a bit longer? Am I doing the right things with the medicines and treatments?

can ACL injuries heal with just exercises or is surgery always necessary what should I do if I have an ACL injury to recover properly
While some mild ACL tears might heal with bracing and rehabilitation, complete ACL tears typically require surgical reconstruction for optimal recovery, especially if you are an athlete or want to return to a high level of physical activity. A torn ACL does not heal on its own, and delaying surgery can lead to further knee damage.
