Unfortunately once the ACL is ruptured you often don't get pain when stressing it (especially if it happened a while ago) but what you do get is a feeling of laxity (looseness).

okay dokes, good to know. Will let you know how everything goes in a week's time at the sport's injury clinic. Thanks again for your advice
hi there, i have just read this thread and i am not a physio but i have had several injuries to my knee( including acl rupture). the symptoms you are describing sounds like an acl rupture. it sounds very much like my problem 7 years ago where my gp thought i had just twisted my knee and it ended up being acl rupture and a buckethandle tear of mymeniscus. make sure you see a surgeon and like in an earlier post a good physio.
