See orthopedic MD: Repeated injury, including surgery, will not necessarily help but when performed for the proper indications in a individual with functional impairment, scar tissue removal followed by a supervised course of physical therapy can help. It's probably best at this poi t for you to obtain an MRI from an orthopedic surgeon specializing in knee disorders.
