In complete tear surgery is needed. But till then you wear knee hinge brace which will further reduce the damage... And go for physio treatment till you go for surgery. Do not go for sports and vigourous activity as advised above. even take care while going on stairs too...
Next Steps
examination of knee by orthopedic or physiotherapist.
