This is purely my own thoughts on the matter.
Doing some exercise if you are feeling upto it should be alright as long as you do not go for "the burn". chose a non-strike exercise (ie swimming or cycling) over soemthing like running or weight lifting. Just doing something will probably help you stop feeling like a "sick old man" (of course then you will have to go shopping or to those parties you do not want to go to). Hiking is probably still ok but do watch for stress to the knees and hips.
I used to belong to a running club and during training for a double marathon (52 miles) I sustained an injury, like an idiot I still entered a very hilly marathon the next week and was in the cross-country team the following week. Many months and hundreds of £'s later I was able to walk more or less normally! It is interesting to note that all my running buddies are now having knee troubles.
