Hi
Yes, repair of ACL and meniscal surgery should be undertaken to avoid long term knee instability and pain,poor function and consequent osteoarthritis developing giving further damage.
Till surgery is undertaken, wear a long knee brace and take advil and serratiopeptidase tabs etc which your doctor may prescribe
