Mother Teacher Scatterbrain: I Hurt My Knee! What do I do with this joint pain?

I hurt my knee. I think it is a torn meniscus or cartilage tear. I don't have health insurance so I can't see a doctor. This leaves me with the Internet. I will be trying the following plan. I won't stop moving though. My workouts help me remember to eat better. I will just be going super low impact.

Now for this first set of exercises, you do the first five right away. The others you wait for the pain to subside. So, start with the passive knee extension, heel slide, calf stretch, hamstring stretch on wall, and straight leg raise. As the pain subsides, work on the rest to strengthen your knees.
