There are many reasons for pain in the knee for a 20 year old. It would be advisable that you visit an orthopaedic surgeon to get yourself evaluated for your problem.
Hello, did you have an injury- especially twisting mechanism? Does your knee lock, click or give way. If so, you may have a meniscal injury that need further investigations- MR scan. Please see an orthopaedic surgeon for assessment.
