Hello everyone, I sprained my left knee almost a year ago while doing a cartwheel, I did the home R.I.C.E. Which is Rest, ice, Compress, and elevation ( i think? ) And after this long year i still have slight trouble running, I cant jump, and sometimes it feels as if it will give out with doing a quick pivot, it hurts to walk up stairs and my knee makes a slight cracking sound when i bend it at a high elevation, The reason i have not gone to the doctors is i dont have insurance....
Whats wrong? Do i need physical therapy, or a doctor NOW?
