General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The amount of discomfort at 2 years period is substantial. I doubt for the ligament tear underlying.

Immediately consult an orthopedic surgeon and get prescription of the MRI for final diagnosis and cure without wasting time.

Thanks
