Your history suggests high energy trauma.
Try applying Ice packs.
Keep affected limb elevated.
Medications like Enzomac will help in swelling.
Wear knee immobiliser for 4 weeks.
Ideal time for ligament recovery is 4 weeks.

After 4 weeks you can walk and if any instability persists, you can take treatment for that accordingly.

Hello,
As u telling that u have grade 1 tear then no need of surgery as it is not a complete rupture.
So give rest to ur knee joint. Avoid any sternous activity. Also consult to the physiotherapist near by.
