Your PT is your friend. The heating pads and ice packs are wonderful.

I just "graduated" from PT after having my ACL repaired. Still have exercises to do.

Another option is to find a good massage therapist. The best one I found was one my bike fitter recommended. She worked on the sore parts (legs, from cycling) and recommended yoga stretches to do post ride. Got me through a cycling season.

Good luck, you'll feel better.
