hi,
as mentioned by you, you need to undergo a physcial therapy and by this you will have a reduction in the swelling and pain. Also physical therapist will teach you how to perform the exercises to strengthen the muscles which will help to reduce the recoccurance of the similar injuries. Also slow and steady progress will be advised so no further injury occurs. Usually cases recover by performing post operative surgeries. You can discuss the same with the surgeon.
with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
