Fell and hurt my knee.

I fell and hurt my knee. On the day of the injury, I couldn’t bear weight on the leg due to the pain. I had to move around using my other leg and both arms. I thought the pain would go away on its own. Most importantly, I do not have health insurance.

It has been 12 days since the injury. I can walk now, but there’s still some pain. It is very difficult to squat down and stand back up. When I press certain parts of my kneecap, it hurts.

I had my leg X-rayed, and there was no bone damage, which means my bones are fine. What could be the possible damage? Will it be okay if I just let it heal on its own? My Medicare Part C coverage will start in two months.

Thank you in advance for your advice.
