Hi,

ACL tear and meniscus tear has made your knee unstable, something called as internal derangement of knee. This usually requires surgical treatment. Pain in muscles above and below your knee is because the muscles are trying to take some load off your knee to protect your joint. I would suggest you to:
1. Use long knee brace
2. Apply ice fomentation
3. Start doing Static quadriceps exercises
4. No squatting, NO stairs

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajesh Hingwe, Orthopedic Surgeon
