Ridiculous

so i sprained my right knee a couple months back but it still feels weak as fuck. this has caused me to not hit jumps for a while and its gettin fairly aggravating. If i land awkwardly, putting more pressure on my right leg i get a painful sensation only in my knee that lasts about 10 min then goes away. however i feel my knee swell up a tiny bit each time this happens, which limits me from fully hyper extending it or bending my knee all the way without pain. I have consulted a doctor and all ligaments are intact and healthy. she recommended leg raises with weight tied around my ankle but that doesnt help very much. she said the quad muscles around my knee have shrunk to compensate for my knee swelling so id needa target that area.

tl;dr knees weak as fuck, anything i can do to strengthen it

Try working out, you'd be amazed at how fast you loose strength after an injury.

Loner

please dont tie a ankle weight and do extentions. Too much torque. Knee doesnt work like that.

Work the squats, single leg stands, lunges. No weight, just hella reps. Start shallow, progress to deep. Maybe go beast on your bike. Look up hip bridging, - nothing helps a knee like strong glutes!
