Get examined: You may have a meniscus tear. You need an orthopaedic exam, a screening x-ray, and then probably an MRI to look for a meniscus tear. It can also be other things but meniscus tear is very common with your story. More information can help narrow it down, but get seen by orthopaedic surgeon.
