Potentially a soft tissue tear. If symptoms are worsening, I would get seen in person at urgent care or your PCP office for an exam. Seeing a doc will be ideal to help you optimize pain control and initiate referral, either to physical therapy, or orthopedics for further investigation.

You may have torn your meniscus. See an orthopedic surgeon. Good Luck
