Yes: If you have constant pain and difficulty bending your knee you should be evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon. Depending on the pain, the ER may be the best place, but you can also schedule an urgent appointment with an orthopaedic surgeon who can evaluate your injury. If it is not a fracture, you will be sent to the ortho surgeon's office with some pain control. Best to manage that pain.
