I was treated by a physician for muscle strain in my leg/ knee area. It has been 2 months and even though it is improving, I am still not able to kneel or have complete mobility as far as bending and twisting around my left knee. I am waiting to talk to an orthopedist and physical therapist. I continue to wrap my knee during the day and ice and elevate it in the evening. When my injury first occurred I was unable to stand and put pressure on my left leg.Any advice in the meantime?
