Knee pain: Your pcp may refer you to orthopedics or pt. The orthopedic doctor can see, evaluate, prescribe any necessary meds or treatments, inject, or possibly operate--if needed. The pt can see, evaluate, and institute physical therapy plan for you.

Pain length?: Depends how long you have been experiencing the pain, you definitely should consider seeing a orthopedic physician if it becomes swollen or hard to walk on.
