“Leg injury?”
Hi, I was at a gymnastics meet and I landed on my leap, and a pain shot up my leg. After that, I was running in the vault and it was hurting and that was after I landed funny. I can’t really explain where the pain is but it is from my hip to my knee. Is there anything I can do about that?

I would go see a pediatric orthopaedic hip specialist. You may have a labrum tear of your hip
Yes, you should have an examination by an Orthopaedist or sports-trained physiotherapist. A problem with your hip such as a slipped epiphysis should be considered.
