Mct injury advice

So basically I got done with boot camp not too long ago, long story short I did something to my knee. Shit hurt all cycle, it’s hard to fully extend and squat on. Got to mct two weeks ago said nothing about the pain, ended up being put in mat due to there being not enough space in the female platoon. I never got checked out for it in boot because I feared staying. I got picked back up today and now I’m wondering whether or not I say something to medical tomorrow. I mainly don’t wanna get stuck in Lima, would love another two weeks in mat to recover but idk if I can swing that. Also don’t know if I should just push through. Any input is appreciated

Go to medical because you have no idea what this will be like five or ten years from now. Speaking from experience.
