Possible re-injury to knee after arthroscopic meniscus repair.

I had knee scope about 8 weeks ago and I believe due to issues with vericose veins and not-so-great circulation in that leg I have been healing very slowly. I returned to work as an industrial electrician  about a week after the scope and after 5 weeks although there’d been pain I feIt I  was just about healed. Unfortunately I was stepping over some pipe and misstepped and almost fell but I caught myself landing hard on the scoped leg and now it’s been about 2 weeks since then and my knee is very sore. 

    So, I’m not sure if I should just see if it heals on it’s own or go back to the doctor.
