I stand up on that leg on next moment sometimes I have wear simple knee belt for one day when I feel ok I remove belt I walk property without any pain, this thing happened 8 -9 times in this period, But suddenly by August 2018 my whole leg started paining, then I started treatment at hospital they suggest me either enjoy knee brace, or operation, right now I can't afford operation fee also I can't take 6 week rest because I am single earning person of my family and right now my leg not paining I never feel like I will fall without while walking My question is can I manage with knee brace and physiotherapy till December 2020 then I can do operation and I can be take rest for 6 week precaution for one year.

From the history it's clear you have knee instability due to ligament tear. Which definitely needs surgery. The more early you get operated the results will be better and also less will be the wear and tear of knee joint. Otherwise your knee joint cartilage will be damaged and later needs joint replacement in early age.
