What does this mean? i got this from my MRI " Partial-thickness tear of the proximal and distal zones of the anterior cruciate. Clinical cerrelation as to the presence of absence of positive Lachman sign would be helpful to see if there is evidence for full thickness tear." doctor made it sound like it is nothing but i am worried i play soccer and i want to be at 100% to continue playing. he also told me to be on crutches to not damage it. But i hear you should continue moving.
