Knee injury. np said to follow up with an ortho, limit walking, and get a brace. knee pops when walking. should i use crutches until follow up?

May have an ACL tear: Get to an orthopedic surgeon asap. Do not bother with braces. Crutches would help relieve the pain as long as someone shows you how to use them properly. Get to the surgeon asap to avoid more damage to the knee. You most likely will need an MRI of your knee, .

My knee aches whenever I walk, and hurts whenever I bend it. It feels like it is popping, and the pain gets worse the more Im actively walking/applying weight. It randomly started yesterday while I was working, no fall, or any injury that I know of?
