I went on a 4 day hike and my knee became painful to extend (inner side of my knee). after a week it healed completely. should i see a doctor/physio?

I wouldn't bother: It sounds like you strained your knee and now it is back to normal. See the doctor if this is a recurrent problem, or you have pain, swelling, or other problems.
