Should I see a health professional about my knee injury?

I’ve already been diagnosed with a ACL rupture in my left knee and I’m on the waiting list for surgery but last week, I slipped in the bathroom and my left knee gave way again. However, this felt different from when it normally gives way (I normally get a aching pain behind my patella). I heard a pop and felt sharp pain immediately on the medial side on my knee. I’ve used RICE for the past week and it has improved in swelling and ROM. However, a week later I still don’t have complete ROM and I’m partially weight bearing with crutches. I tried putting more weight on it but i get a sharp pinching pain which is stopping me. I think I’ve torn my medial meniscus but I don’t know if I should go and see someone about it.
