ILooks like what you say is right. It depends on the magnitude and extent of the ligament tear. You need at least 3 to 6 weeks of rest using a proper medial restraint brace rather than knee cap. However if your brace is working that is fine. . probably you are on road to recovery. If the pain is the same.after 6 weeks get an MRI scan and meet orthopaedician. Meeting a physiotherapist is very important in your case to get a proper advice about future athletic activities.
