My MRI shows bone marrow contusions in both femur and tibia condyles with moderate synovial effusion, a grade 2 ACL tear, horizontal tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and grade 1 MCL sprain. I've been doing quad and ROM exercises at home for almost 2 months do I really need surgery or can I keep managing this without going under the knife

So, I was playing badminton yesterday and ended up twisting my ankle at a weird angle, and now it's pretty swollen. It's not hurting too much, but the swelling is definitely noticeable. What should I do to take care of it? I'm not sure if it's serious enough to see a doctor. Do you think I really need to get it checked out?

Although the injury may not seem severe, it's important to see a doctor if: Pain increases or becomes sharp. You have difficulty walking or bearing weight on the ankle. Theres a change in skin color or you notice severe bruising. The swelling does not decrease after 48 hours or gets worse.
