I'm really worried about my MRI results showing a chronic partial ACL tear and this buckling happening at the back. It also mentions a small chronic grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching the inferior meniscal surface. What should I be doing about this? Does this mean surgery is unavoidable, or are there other treatment options I should consider first? I'm just anxious about what this all means for my mobility and day-to-day activities.
