Possibly: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person. He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Not necessarily: If you are asymptomatic, continue to play. If it starts to bother you then see your doctor. Surgery is simple and safe.
