Injured my knee
I'm a cheerleader and I was tumbling, I did a roundoff handspring set and stepped beackwith one leg. My left leg took all the impact of my landing and the outside of my knee cracked 3 times. It is swollen, I cannot straighten it all the way and looks deformed if I try to straighten it
