Replying to Ok so i fucked my ACL... can i ski?

Ok let me explain myself, this summer i went to highnorth ( sickest camp ever... ) and well on the third day I did a 7 and crashed... i went to the little Whistler clinic and they told me that I would just have to rest and It should be okay... so i did just that... almost 2 month later ( im back home ) and i go to the hospital to know what's about it since it still hurt me ... the doctor tells me its probably nothing and that i should just take some advil... so i did , didnt help , so i got back there and he told me to get a magnetic photo test or something... when i got the result SURPRISE !! my acl is completly torn... wtf i wasted my whole summer while i could have been doing the surgery and shit!! so now that the ski season is coming i would like to know if it would be possible for me to ski with some kind of protection ( the stuff you put on your knee ) ?! anyone knows?? ...
