Thank you for this question. There are many treatment strategies for many knee problems. Correct diagnosis of the problem is most important to lead down a pathway to effective treatment. I would recommend seeing a PM&R doctor or orthopedic surgeon.
You need to be seen and examined by a physician who has experience in dealing with knees like an orthopedic surgeon or a sports medicine specialist. We need to determine if you have any internal derangement in the knee joint. Knowing your medical history is very important.

You first need a diagnosis. Treatment is dictated by it. You can start with your primary care doctor or see a specialist, like myself, if your insurance will allow.
Physical therapy would benefit you significantly.
