Whether you undergo ACL surgery or not, exercise is the key. There are even athletes without ACL performing well. So it's the proper knee rehabilitation which is the magic. But if you have associated meniscus or cartilage lesions it's better you undergo arthroscopy. Postop recovery depends whether we are repairing meniscus or cartilage. Usual time to become normal is 4-6 weeks.

100% surgery if you want a sporty life.
Return to office work is around 2 weeks, but you may need a brace on for 3-4 weeks.
Return to sports is 2 months

Hello,
As per your history you have significant instability which suggest you have a ligament tear in your knee mostly ACL tear. This can be treated by arthroscopic surgery and as a specialist surgeon in Sports medicine, I would recommend you to think of the ACL reconstruction procedure to prevent further degeneration.
The surgery has good success rates and it is possible to get back to normal with proper rehab.

Please do an MRI to rule out any ligament injury and further planning.
Also do knee strengthening exercises you can find in YouTube.

Hi .
Your age is 30 and your young enough to do all activities.
Running is prblm because your ligament has been torn and it give instability as your bone moves forward and backward during running.
This ligament prevent your bone movement allowing stable function of your knee joint
Acl is routine surgery for us. Yes it's been done by trained knee arthroscopy surgeon (also called sports injury specialist)
Recovery time depends on your motivation And your weight .as good physiotherpy excersies sessions will be required .that's the 50% crust of acl surgry successful outcome.
To be specific u can start daily activities at end of 4 week's and after good Physiotherpy and good muscle strength excersies for 3 months . Running can be considered but it has to be examined and should be adviced by your operating surgeon.
