Hi there I understand your concern....conservative management can be tried in partial tear patients...try hamstring strengthening exercises and take over the counter pain medications...avoid squatting, crossed legged sitting, playing strenuous sports or activities...if no improvements you should get examined by arthroscopic surgeon they will help you further.

Hello, As per your MRI report this is a severe injury. Partial ACL tear can be rehabilitated. If you have been recommended to go for ACL reconstruction surgery please avoid it. If this is a recent injury then you are in maximum protection phase of healing. Ice your knee 20mins every 2 hours for a week. Conservative ACL rehabilitation needs 12-16 weeks of progressive rehab training. 5.8ft 96kg is Obese. Start doing swimming/stationery cycling. If you don't lose weight for the sake of your knee your prognosis will be limited.
Next Steps
Consult a Physiotherapist for early (ROM)range of movement exercises and quadriceps, & Hamstrings activation exercises
Health Tips
Avoid Walking/Running/Jumping/deep squatting.
