I cant fully straighten my leg. It feels unstable and there is fluid above and around the kneecap. I can walk, jump, squat pain free. The pain comes when trying to fully straighten my leg.

I got hips arthroscopy surgery 3, mos ago I can't still walk because I have knee pain and stiffness mostly on outside of my knee and my patella don't move right. I felt it buckle up when I put weights on it or try to walk. My Doctor can't figure out right now. He took an X-ray he said I have slight arthritis but when he gives me an injection stills doing the same. I'm still going pt.

Who do you recommend to go to for a proper diagnosis? I go to my PCP for annual check ups, but I always feel like that's just an extra step for specific pain. Orthopedic?
