What Causes Persistent Left Knee Pain?

I have been having left knee pain for 9 months. It swells on the 2 oclock position and 5 oclock position if you were looking at it. It hurts on occasion but it is unbearable if I kneel on it. When it really bother, climbing stairs is also very painful. I do not remember any injury to it. I am a little overweight. I have iced it and taken advil. Is this something that will go away on its own or should I see a specialist?
