knee support is essential for initial period to give rest to the knee, so that healing of ligaments can take place. after the initial period, the knee should be reassessed, since you have tear of meniscus, which may need arthroscopy.
After the initial few weeks of rest to the knee joint, you can gradually increase your activity level, including exercising, walking, standing. you will need to do quadriceps and hamstring exercises as well. but reassessment is definitely important, and equally important is to have a look at your mri scan and report
