I had surgrey to remove plica about a month ago. i slipped and twisted my knee and the inner part of the same knee is hurting what could be wrong?

Pain will resolve: Following removal of a plica you have some scar tissue and general synovitis (inflammation of joint). These are likely the reason for your pain. Modify activity, ice, antiinflammatory and knee exercises. And it will likely resolve

Meniscus.: Usually there are two other possibilities: Arthritis (which I don't think you have at age 17), or a medial meniscal tear. See your surgeon for re-evaluation.
