The leg growth should be considered and evaluated by Orthopedics.A follow up imaging study is recommended. Please follow up soon, and watch for pain with weight bearing and swelling.

Would be quite likely, at this time, that there is a leg length discrepancy resulting in abnormal stress effects causing your discomfort. Progressive joint wear and tear are possible, as well as strain and sprain problems from routine and sports activities. Best to seek orthopedic consultation ASAP, as this needs attention and management to prevent further symptoms.
