My MRI shows an ACL grade 1 sprain and the doctor recommended rest, ice, and keeping my knee elevated. But the pain isn't getting better it's really intense. I'm worried and don't want surgery. What else can I do to ease the pain and heal properly? I've attached my MRI report for reference.

My legs, back, neck, shoulders, and even my fingers hurt and feel weak could this be related to disc issues? I'm really hoping to avoid surgery or disc replacement if possible. What could be causing all this pain and weakness?
