Complains of pain in the left knee

A few years ago, I went to the mountain late in the afternoon and tried to come down quickly, then after climbing up and down the mountain, I walked a lot.

On bad weather days, I experience pain in my left knee.

I was confident that my lower body was as strong as that of most men, but since that day, I have been feeling discomfort and have been applying hot packs and massaging my knee frequently without seeking medical treatment.

However, since the rainy season is ongoing and it keeps raining, I often experience discomfort in my left knee when I lie down to sleep at night, making it difficult to fall asleep easily, which causes inconvenience in daily life and makes me quite exhausted.

If these pains occur frequently, the wisest course of action would be to seek medical treatment at a hospital, right?
