Since you have no swelling or instability, conservative treatment options might still be viable, and surgery may not be urgent. you might consider seeking a second opinion or discussing a more conservative approach, like physiotherapy, strengthening exercises, or bracing, to avoid unnecessary surgery. IN case physical examination demonstrate more findings surgery might be required. visit orthopedic surgeon for evaluation

I guess examining the knee joint again after the settlement time of 2 weeks is helpful in deciding the mode of management. However, you can try conservative mode till that time with analgesics, supplements, brace and adequate hydration. Hope you recover soon

If your knee is: Stable during daily activities, Pain-free or only mildly painful, And you're not an elite athlete needing full pivoting movements soon, Then a trial of conservative management (physiotherapy + bracing) for 6–12 weeks is often considered reasonable before deciding on surgery.
Next Steps
Avoid twisting/pivoting activities Use a knee brace for support Strengthen quadriceps and hamstrings under guided, safe supervision

If acl is completely torn out of attachment site,  Definitely requires surgery for young individuals below 45 years. U don't have instability now , because your muscles are compensating, but eventually u will have accelerated wear and tear of joint and meniscus.
