7. Tenderness in the Joint
Any injury to a joint subsequently leads to tenderness after the initial pain has subsided. Even if the pain lasts for weeks, a knee joint that has experienced an ACL tear will continue to be tender to the touch. Swelling may be reduced, and the injured knee may look just like the other one, but the pain is still there. A simple joint line tenderness test, which is often used to diagnose meniscal tears, can help determine how severe the injury is.
