Aww that stinks. you can do crunches, arm weights, pending how bad it is you could go for a short walk, yoga....you can do other leg exercises so long as you use something for balance or something that can make it so you don't use the injured knee as much.

What did your doctor or physical therapist say?

He said to have a rest for a couple of days and then maybe get back into some light exercise

Swimming is always my "go to" exercise when I have injuries (and I have had lots over the years). Also anything upper body that you can do either lying down or sitting, so that you don't put stress on your knee. If you do do exercises that involve your knee, make sure you start off SLOWLY and build it up over a period of time, no matter how tempted you feel to make things more intense sooner - the number of times I made that mistake before it finally stuck in my mind not to over do it at the beginning are numerous! Gently and progressively are your key words.
