The knee rehab after knee ligament injuries can extend from 8-12 weeks and even professional athlete who has best chance of recovery sometime don't return back to sports upto 6 months. Seeing a physio for 1 day is not going to help, find a good physio and spend 6-8 weeks in reducing swelling, managing pain and knee strengthening.
If you are not a professional athlete, I don't see a need of surgery at this stage.
Next Steps
spend 6-8 weeks strengthening knee under physio's recommendation.
Health Tips
put ice pack when knee is swollen, rest, elevate the leg. No sudden exertion or movements. no contact sports till manageable recovery.

With respect to the MRI findings, I would suggest you to visit an ortho once..also I would suggest you to visit a sports physiotherapist again and undergo complete rehabilitation process, because when you have to get back to your running activity you need to be trained considering the strength, endurance, proprioception. This will take time of nearly 1-1.5month for you to understand the difference in your knee.

Hi
Depending upon the need your knee rehab protocol will differs. If you are an professional athlet or fitness freak Surgical interventionist be required. Avoid Heavy sporting activities till you regain stability of your knee.
Any how to Prefer surgery you should have that level of pain and discomfort Surgeons not only look at MRI alone.
Coming to Conservative method Physiotherapy comes first. Do appropriate exercises, Use braces, Sports Taping.
