Usually knee pain is normally really hard to diagnose especially because the knee is such a complex system. It's normal that the doc only gave you pain meds and anti-inflammatories because they just want you to be pain free. I'm pretty sure if you go see a responsible massage therapist/physio/chiro - they could probably give you a better idea of what's going on without going to see an orthopedic surgeon for a differential diagnosis. Good luck. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.
