Hello,
It does not looks that your present problem is due to old ligament tear.Looking at your details it looks that you may have compression of nerves at your back, this may be related to your exercises at gym.At present you should following to have relief:
- Avoid weight lifting or heavy exercises
- Avoid forward bending at your back
- Take a good analgesic with muscle relaxant activity
- Apply warm fomentation over back and leg.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
