Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I think you should be concerned as you may have many kinds of problems starting from meniscus tear, ligament tears or any fracture. I suggest you to go and see an orthopedic doctor and make x-rays and/or MRI.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Edvin Selmani
