hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.
As you had an injury which was treated with stitches there will be a load shifting leading to muscle imbalances. Performing exercises for the knee joint will be helpful.
undergoing a proper clinical physical therapy assessment will help understand the muscle weakness involved and with guided exercise the pain will be avoided.
on a longer run it is advised to undergo proper physical therapy rehabilitation of the knee to avoid future early degenerative changes in the knee.
