Yes - delaying the surgery for more than 6-8 months or more starts affecting the knee and degeneration starts

Disuse and overuse both will affect you. Be some what active not more neither less. Ice massage, crepe bandage will prevent further damage. Whenever you are tend to use knee for day to day activities just ware crepe bandage and just remove it while rest.
