Hello there,,
Well do you remember if it was a grade 1 or grade 2 tear...also which ligament was partially torn.
Ligaments are mostly known to provide stability to knee joint however they may or may not be related to pain in your recent pain flairup episode...however since you mentioned that even sitting causes you pain...that means an acute flairup of your previous problem could be the culprit.
Do get back with detail symptoms so that a proper treatment plan could be tailormade for you.
Regards.
