Get it evaluated: You need to have it evaluated because several issues can cause those symptoms. See an orthopedist.

See a doctor: The knee is a complex joint with many different potential pain generators (meniscus, ligaments, cartilage, etc.) that may become damaged or inflamed. A good history and physical exam by an experienced clinician can help identify the pain generator(s) and advise you on a treatment plan.
