12 sets of deadlifts yesterday. Today my left knee kinda hurts. I love deadlifts but my form is far from perfect and this seems to always happen. Should I invest in a trainer and make sure I’m 100% confident in my form? I’m guessing knee pain is a sign of a serious issue with my form that could actually cause a serious injury as I go up in weight. Right now I don’t push past 305-315, and most of my sets are 10 reps of 225. Still, this shit is frustrating

Just research the shit out of it and drop weight until your form is perfect. You can really fuck yourself up if you're doing it wrong. This is actually something I would consult with a crossfit trainer about if you don't want to try and fix it yourself. Those guys will get your deadlift form perfect.
As far as your current injury, I would definitely keep off of it, ice it, and maybe take some ibuprofen for like a week or two and see how it feels. You might have torn something that just needs some time to recover. If it still persists afterwards maybe get it checked out.
