If you have ACL grade one ,you must start ACL rehab Asap,ask your physiotherapist to re train VOM and hamstring strengthening. Don't run until you 12 week rehab is complete as you are on risk of increasing tear grade .One twist at run can increase you problem. Have visco neoprene brace specially for ACL injury for  safety while walking. Until your muscles are strong doing physiotherapy
