Any hope after ACL partial tear?

Context: JANUARY 2025: used to do jogging for 1hr everyday, in between runs I would squat to catch my breath and I suspect something happened at that time because knee felt quite stretched and I would get up as I can't sit in squatting position for too long either but there was no clear event when something would have snapped or twisted or anything.

Full 2025 was painful and I couldn't walk much.

Note: never went to the doctor during 2025

JANUARY 2026: Got an MRI done. One doctor said surgery other said physiotherapy.

I feel pain on some days more than other days but 2026 is still less painful than 2025.

What is the best route ahead for me please advice, I am new to all of this.
