I was a personal trainer while in college. A lot of work with ACL, & MCL injuries. Depending on what insurance you have I would see a physical therapist. The PT can provide you the type of knee brace you need, and depending on what's wrong with your knee can provide a program that will stengthen the knee and other muscles surrounding the knee to give it more support. I would only go to a surgeon as a last resort. Physical Therapy, anti-inflammatory medicine, and a good knee brace for now may be all you need.
