Yes.: You should see an orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist, who can recommend physical therapy and shoe inserts. Repeated injury can cause permanent damage.

Genu algum: Likely. You should be evaluated by an orthopedist who might recommend adjustments to your walk, or a shoe insert or something more elaborate.
