Hi
Since its a grade 3 Acl along with meniscus tear, a surgery is essential.If there is instability in the knee which is common in most cases,you need to get operated immediately and then post operative physiotherapy from a sports physio preferably.In sum cases the orthopaedic may advice you for a rest of some wks to attain a full movement in knee through physiotherapy and then a surgery.It will depend on the type of injury and the expertise of the surgeon.
All the best...Take care

Avoid sitting Cross legged.
Avoid Squatting-
Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.
Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day.
