Thanks for all the replies. I'm definately looking to see a Orthopedist now and am going to setup an appointment. It'll still give me peace of mind if they tell me its just some minor deal that'll dissappear in a month. On the flip side, if its something that'll threaten other aspects of my life - I'd like to know too. Better to err on the side of caution, thankfully, my medical plan covers consultations like this.
