Hi,
Basic exercises are enough to reduce the initial pain. But you have to do progress strengthing exercise to walk pain free and do other physical activities. Knee joint has many ligaments, each has its own healing and recovery pattern.
Next Steps
Meet a physiotherapist or qualified personal trainer to do further strengthening exercises
