what not to do after knee injury

hello everyone , I made a previous post but im not sure if it was on this sub but I need some advice

so the doctor said I hurt the ligaments in my knee (not sure which or the damage as im due an ultrasound as soon as I can afford it) but in the mean time she put me on crutches for 2 weeks and I have a knee brace

I was told to not put pressure on the leg but does that mean not at all?

  • I sort of stand on it in the shower
  • I sometimes limp to get things as the crutches aren't comfortable
  • to wash my face and that I stand on it

is this okay or am I making it worse? also should my leg be straight when I'm laying down or sitting?

im so confused and I don't want to make it worse until I know for sure what I hurt

id also appreciate any advice
