How Can sharp Knee Pain be Treated?

My knee has a history of pain, swelling, bruising, redness, hot to touch, tendonits and clicks and pops. It has started to suddenly hurt with a sharp pain and feel loose and unstable. I had an injury a few months ago but nothing was broken or torn. Do I need to go back to my doctor to get it checked out or just take it easy for a while?
