How does this work?

I had knee meniscus removed this time last yr. Since then I left that job and gotten a new one. I hurt this knee at work..old job..the removed meniscus here.. Now I'm starting to have pain in my knee. I never settled w this job for an amount here. So how would I get paid if Dr put me out and or another surgery here? For w covid here I've exhausted my bank account of all the money I made while working there..i put into to unemployment here. Is old job still liable for all bills..dr vists, PT, Meds etc ?!?!?? 

Update:

It was workers comp related injury now...its been bothering me the last few months now.

    Did you go through worker's comp when you had the injury?

    Only If you can prove the injury occurred at the old job.  Did you seek treatment while still employed at the old job, telling your doctor it was a work related injury?  Is there an incident report when it occurred? The fact that you didn't make a claim back then hurts your credibility to make a claim now.  If there was no specific trauma to the knee at the job, the company will not be held liable.
