What could possibly be wrong with my leg?

Home More advice Health

Ok, I go to the gym almost everyday. About three or four weeks ago, I noticed a pain in my leg, like a sore muscle. I get those a lot so, I continued to work out. Then the day after I got back from a college orientation, I noticed it got kinda worse like a continuous cramp in my leg, but I still continued to work out. I've lost so much weight and I've done so well on my diet, I don't want to lose that. Then, like at the middle of last week, I was walking with a limp. and my muscle hurt. My mom thinks it's a torn muscle or ligament. Now, my leg is a little better, but I cannot walk or function right. I can't put any weight on my foot. What could I have done? It's not broken. I can move my toes, but my knee is swollen and I can't bend it well anymore. Could it be a sprain from my poor walking the days before? I don't know what to do. I've been crying all day out of pain (I don't like to take pain meds too much) and I can't go to the doctor, I don't have health insurance yet. I will friday, but I don't think they'll pay for it because of my 'pre-existing condition'. But I'm going anyway. What do you think could be wrong and what can I do to make it better asap?
