Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, the main concern we need to discuss here is, if the episode of weight on your knee has caused any damage, the damage could well be
1 Bony
2 Ligamentous

You need to get screened for this and what you will require is a
1 X Ray of the knee joint
2 MRI of the knee joint.

these will make it clear if you have done any internal damage to the knee and the treatment will depend accordingly.

I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
