Need opinions: Ligament tear

I torn my ligament while playing cricket. It was difficult to walk for few days but was improving. I avoided MRI assuming it is healing. But there was always a discomfort & little pain if I squatted/put weight on my knees. I did MRI after 5 months. Brief of MRI are as following; 1. High grade tear of the distal attachment of the patellar tendon is noted with a 4 x 8 mm ossific fragment within tendon substance. 2. Abrupt defect of the cortex is noted in tibial tuberosity on the superior surface. 3. Fluid filled gap is noted between edge of tendon and tibial tuberosity measuring nearly 6.0 mm in diameter. 4. Background patellar tendinopathy is seen with low grade interstitial delaminations measuring up to 15.0 mm in the distal two thirds of the tendon. IMPRESSION: Background patellar tendinopathy. Possible avulsion injury involving the distal edge of patellar tendon. It's been 1.5 years & my knee is not normal. My doc says nothing much to do now. Just live with it. I can't :(
