I am 25 old male, started playing basic tennis for 2 weeks. One day my left knee started paining and mild swelling after few days. The MRI diagnosed with "Intrasubstance degeneration within posterior horn of medial meniscus" and "Mild joint effusion" My doctor said it's nothing to worry about. Take a rest of 2 weeks with ice and crepe Bandage. I Wanted to get more professional advice on this. What sort of rest is required, like no walk at all or no movement of knee while laying on bed.

Like no Running or cycling no ascending or Descending stairs. Rest you should move your legs to avoid stiffness of limbs. If more detail needs.

Avoid straining your knee like sitting on the floor, standing for long hours, climbing steps and jogging or running too. If swelling is there you can give ice pack atleast twice a day for 15 minutes. Do some knee strengthening exercises and stretches. This will definitely help your problem.
