I got the same advice from my doctor when I tore my ACL many years ago. He said "It's not like you're a pro athlete".
So I decided not to have the surgery.
Four years later, I had the surgery, and I cursed myself for not getting the thing fixed when I originally injured it.
If you're ready to just sit around and watch television all of the time, skip the surgery. But if you'd like to do normal things like playing on company softball teams, playing tennis, going skiing, or doing anything else that requires a stable knee, you should get it fixed. It will suck for a year, but then you'll be whole again.
