I've been dealing with a minor meniscus tear in my right knee and the doctor had said to take it easy for a month and keep activities low for at least a year. Now, after a year, I had another fall from my bike and my knee's hurting similar to before, but it's also feeling kinda cold. What should I do about this?

I'm a 40-year-old from Hyderabad and my MRI showed tears in the medial and lateral meniscus of my left knee along with an ACL tear. The report mentions an oblique tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, a grade II horizontal tear in the lateral meniscus, and a full-thickness mid-substance ACL tear with some retraction. I consulted two orthopedic doctors one recommended arthroscopy for ACL and meniscus repair, while the other said only the meniscus needs surgery since I work in IT and have a sedentary lifestyle. Can these meniscus tears heal on their own without surgery What should be my next steps given my age and daily routine
