Neil, It probably would not hurt to see a doctor who specializes in athletic injuries. Additionally, you might try taking some Glucosamine with Chondroitin and some Hyaluronic Acid---available in health food stores and places vitamins are sold. It sounds to me like you have torn some cartilige and that this problem is causing friction when you move. Friction means pain. I doubt that this will go away on its own. Orthoscopic surgery may ultimately be the answer. It is not a major procedure. They go in with a scope and then straighten out the cartilige or shave it a little to get rid of the friction. It is an outpatient procedure. My wife had both of her knees done and is doing fine. She still faithfully takes her Glucosamine and her Hyaluronic Acid to keep the joints lubed.
