Get yourself examined near an orthopedician and plan for surgery.
You can always use conservative treatment but if required and in future if you have complications due to arthritis and wearing off, of the cartilage then you might need total knee replacement because of the wearing off of the cartilage.
Take all necessary preventive measures on the present day.
Take care!
