[d'artangan]

I wrestled in High School, the AAU, the olympic trials and coached high school wrestling. I also have arthitic knees, and ankles. You're not a professional athlete, so do exactly what your doctor orders. Pros need to get back quick because they earn their living doing what they do. If your Dr says you need to stay out for one to two weeks, stay out for one to rwo weeks. There are varying degrees of ligament tears. If you'll be good to go in one or two weeks, I would assume this is a minor tear (and I know it didn't feel minor, but most of your immediate pain was due to the dislocation, not the tear), but I would invest in a soft brace, or an ace bandage if I was going to continue with wrestling and cross-country.
