Severe knee pain
I was born with discoid meniscus and as a result had two meniscus repairs due to knee instability the infamous popping associated with the disorder. In my left knee, I still get severe pain years later. It happens randomly but can also arise with overuse. Moving my knee becomes near unbearable let alone tasks like walking. It normally lasts a few hours to a few days then go away as if it never happened. Overtime, it's been getting more frequent, more painful, and lasting longer.

Discoid meniscus is not a bad thing it's actually an extra cushion for your knee. Only problem happens when it's associated with pain or popping sensation.
Next Steps
Get an MRI done to see if you have tear in that and if yes we can do arthroscopic meniscoplasty to help you get rid of your pain
