If it doesnt hurt to walk, then shut up about it. You probably just strained a ligament a little bit and it didnt feel that fantastic. You didnt tear anything though, else you wouldnt be able to bed your knee more than maybe 5 degrees in either direction... much less walk.

just be easy on it for a while...

naw bro, I just meant dont trip about it... I've prolly had the same shit happen to me multiple times...

If you fuck up your knee, you will know it pretty quick.. either you cant stand up, or you know you dont even want to try..

if youre even a little skeptical, go see a doctor. it is better to be safe than sorry in this case.

That's the swelling probably you tore something. The sooner you have it checked out by a doctor, the sooner you will be skiing again. I don't get it, why wait?

If you wait, and begin treatment in a week, it will take weeks longer to heal.

If you wait, and your MCL grows back stretched out because you didn't immobilize it, you're fucked forever.

If you wait, and the pain goes away, and never see a doctor, but ski on the scar tissue of a freshly torn MCL, and you crash, you will take out your ACL and meniscus and will be out for 9 months.

Just a few scenarios to think about.

A torn MCL you immobilize with a brace for 7-10 days and take medication to stop the swelling.

umm, you could have really ruined your knee there, i would stay off it and go to your doctor before you make it really bad. This a common way to get a wicked fucked up ACL injury, hurt it a bit, then rip it. go. to. the doctor.

alrgiht heres the deal. thursday the injury occured. Went to school trainer on fri and she coudltn not tell what it was and told me to come see her again on mon. monday rolls around and she still does not know and she think that my acl is messed up. I go to the doctor and and she said me to an orthopedic doctor the orthopedic doctor does shit wit my knee and she is not sure wat it is so she sent me to get mri's tomarow so it is all up to the mri's tomarow.

okay...


I'm gonna venture a guess that you hyperextended it.

RICE is nice

Rest

Ice

Compression

Elevation
