Hi there.
If i was your doctor i would also recommend you to go through the surgery again. It is not possible for ACL tear to heal itself. You have to have a surgery otherwise it will keep on bothering you.
The condition can improve with some mild exercise on your knee joint that your physiotherapist will guide you better. It enhances the strength of other knee ligaments and muscles which will support your joint. But again you will not be able to play games or do strenuous exercise.
My advice would be to go for surgery that may improve your symptoms a lot.
regards
