Get it checked out: Hi. This has been going on for a while so evaluation is necessary. Most doctors are trained to do a simple routine of physical maneuvers that will define the problem. Further workup might include X-ray or MRI. Most knee problems are not surgical and your doctor could point you to effective physiotherapy.
