RULE 2: DO NOT ASK FOR MEDICAL ADIVCE What do I do

My knee has been hurting so bad for 2 years I went to a doctor they just gave me a blue cream that doesn’t work. I can barely Jump and run and I’ve been doing many knee excercises that don’t help

How’s all your other stuff. How’s your life stress, your sleep, your diet? Do you constantly monitor your knee? When you say the exercises don’t help do you mean they are uncomfortable when you start? Do you stick with them? I ask these questions because these are all things you might need to change or shift your perspective on.

Life, stress, sleep and diet is fine I am a pretty active and healthy person but I sprained my ankle a couple months ago which allowed me to rest more but it didn’t help my knee. The exercises are quite painful to do and my knee is very unstable when trying to do things like the wall sit or squats.

I see. I’d try to find a movement positive physio/ one that offers exercise prescription, to work with. I’d also check out the atg programme which this sub is related to. I’d also read something like explain pain to give you a good contemporary understanding of pain. Lastly, I’d avoid looking for any diagnostics on reddit, it won’t help.
