Some version of a flowing water ice pack
I had the same brace after my ACL/meniscus tear, but I would take some of the straps off so I could slide this kind of pad in. It did wonders for the pain. I did it over the wrapping.
Once I got more healed up and didn't need the icing machine, these were the best ice packs I found. They stay soft, only take 2 hours before you can use them again, and they're the only ones that didn't break on me. I recommend getting two.
Make sure whoever picks you up after has food ready. Don't be scared to test your leg. It's in basically cast with that brace on. I was walking on and off under two weeks. (You will need to lay in bed and ice all day after probably.)
Buy one of these https://www.amazon.com/Polar-Products-Inc-Active-Therapy/dp/B001ALNM3A
I'd wait until you get the take from your PT. I was back on the bike within three weeks for both of my ACL repairs but full recovery took months and I had a lot of swelling for nearly a year. I did PT for a year in both cases, obviously less and less as time progressed.
A subsequent total knee replacement was actually easier to recover from.
If you don't already have one, pick one of these up on ebay with the knee attachment. I use mine still after long hard rides.
