Needs evaluation: There are many structures that can be torn inside the knee and cause the symptoms you report. A medical evaluation is necessary to determine what is the problem, meniscus is only one possibility.

MRI: A large swollen knee is more likely an acl tear or an injury to the ligaments that stabilize the knee cap. In any case if this is still bothering you after six years you should get an MRI to look for structural damage.
