Just got my MRI results showing a partial thickness tear in the midsubstance of my ACL what are my best non-surgical options for recovery? Really worried about how this might affect my mobility long-term

I had surgery in 2014 where they removed all stitches and put a metal rod in my leg. The operated area is dry now, but there's still a small hole where fluid leaks out sometimes. I can't walk or stretch properly because my leg feels stiff, and there's nerve pain. The fluid leakage stops and starts randomly what could be causing this and should I be worried?

Persistent drainage and stiffness post-orthopedic surgery may indicate chronic infection or hardware issues—seek reevaluation.
