You very likely have a torn or injured meniscus...and possibly a problem with one of the ligaments (lateral, medial, anterior cruciate, or posterior cruciate). An x-ray would not be helpful for seeing or diagnosing this. You need a knee MRI, which will look for ligamentous injury. And an orthopedic surgeon could fix this or do a knee arthroscopy (simple surgery) to fix this and see if anything else is wrong to fix with the meniscus, etc.
At the very least, get an MRI or see an orthopedic surgeon.
You don't want to let this continue...
Hope this helps.
