Any Suggestion For Leg And Knee Pain Caused After Leg Slip?

Hi, the other day i was doing splits on a wall and i didn t warm up before-hand and i hear a pop because my leg slipped and it got pushed a little further than what i can usually do the splits for. Should i see a doctor? I cant do ballet exercices or raise my leg above 90 degrees without crying with pain. My knee also hurts and when i sit it bothers me and when i m about to bend down i m always scared of feeling the pain. What to do..? My mom is complaining about how expensive it is to go to a doctor so that is why i m wondering how necesary it actually is...

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
based on your history
you probably have an adductor strain (straddle injury or also known as charlie horse injury)
and hamstring strain

raising your leg above 90deg specifically stretches these overpulled muscles even more thus producing the pain

take anti inflammatory medications such as celecoxib to decrease the inflammatory response of the muscle and the pain as well

pain might persist for a while since the muscles take a while to recover (2 to 3weeks minimum)
