Lola Retired?? Please help!!

A few weeks ago my little Lola had an incident involving another cat leaving her injured on her left hind leg. A week later the same thing happened with her left front leg/wrist and to add insult to injury she got stepped on by my brother.
He was barefoot so it wasn't too bad but still bag enough for another round of Buprenex.
She seems okay now, she's running and walking fine.
My only concern is that she's no longer as out going as she once was, and now she won't even make an effort to climb on to anything.
She won't get on the cat towers and she cries when she wants me to pick her up and put her somewhere. And just the same she won't jump down, she would always be the first to run to her food bowl during feeding times and now she won't jump down off a small chair to save her life.
What is happening??

You don't mention if you took her to the vet. If you didn't have x-rays done, she may have a fracture or break that is making it painful to jump and put more intense pressure on it but not painful to walk.

Cats hide pain and injury really well. As an example, my old cat when I was a kid came in the house one day and went to hide in a closet. That was weird for him and she noticed him favoring his left side so my Mom took him to the vet. Turns out his leg was broken in two places and he had to have surgery plus pins and wire put in to fix it. 

If you did have x-rays and there is no fracture/break it still could be that she is tender. Some injuries do take longer to heal than others especially when ligaments and joints are concerned. She may be hesitant to do the things (jumping and climbing) that tweak the injury still. It could also be that she permanently injured something and will just have trouble with jumping for the rest of her life. My previously mentioned cat always walked with a slight limp during the winter time after he got hurt that got more pronounced as he got older (he broke it around 1 year old and lived to be 14 years old).  I'd talk to your vet and find out at what point it is something that should be looked at more closely. 

Yeah we took her to the cet both times and I even had many phone calls with her vet. No fractures or breaks (we did multiple X-rays to make sure). She did say that her knee caps were a bit loose due to some tendon damage but that it should resolve itself. My question is how long should it take? I just want her to be happy and live a normal life.
Thank you for replying!!

Good news on the x-ray. I know in humans that an injury to the tendon can take weeks, if not a few months, to heal and the knee is one of the slower ones because it is in a high use part of the body. She should start to use it more as it feels better. Personally, I'd wait 1-2 months and then do a recheck with the vet if she isn't jumping and climbing more at that point. 

You said you've had many conversations with your Vet...have you mentioned her not wanting to jump at all?  I would let them know about this development, and make sure this is normal with her tendon issue, then ask how long it normally takes in cats for this to heal.

When she initially got hurt yes we were in constant communication
But I gave her time to heal and just now I've noticed her different behavior
