hi,

as you mentioned you have partial ACL tear, in the initial stages I will suggest to walk less. as one should avoid the progression of the injury. Also, please focus on a physical therapy as it is a must to be performed for regaining the proper strengthen. There are chances of having major knee troubles if the current scene is ignored.

I wish you undergo an MRI Inititally, take proper rest and undergo physical therapy. if there is life there is world. I hope you will understand. Better late than never.
