I have a medial meniscus tear and partial PCL tear and used to have severe pain and locking in my knee but now the pain is much better and I can do daily activities without discomfort but I still hear popping sounds without pain should I be worried about the popping or is it okay to ignore since the pain is gone my doctor recommended arthroscopy but since I feel better can I try PRP injections instead of surgery

Can someone help me understand if surgery is really needed based on this MRI report? The person is currently on meds but the doctor hasn't recommended physiotherapy yet just exercises. The neck pain started in April and keeps coming back, even shooting down to the right arm. Why would the doctor only suggest exercises and not physio?
