Not everyone with a ACL or PCL sprain need operation. Even a little meciscus degeneration can be ignored if you don't have significant problem in walking.
Next Steps
Get a second opinion. If your doctor says that operation is must then he may be right.
Health Tips
Generally there's no harm in waiting another month or two. Let your body heal itself.
