Not permanent but: This doesn't sound permanent but needs definitive treatment. You'll need to be seen by a specialist and created properly for possible subtle pathology (possible defect in cartilage, higher level damage or more severe injury, etc). You're young so shouldn't be too bad of a recovery.
