well good luck if you do ski on it..


i skied on my blown ACL (didn't want to go in to the dr).. didn't hit anything or do anything wrong and my meniscus was torn and ripped off the bone. that was the worst pain ever for me.... i regret it soooooo much

really hate to say it but from some threads on torn acls and mcls i've read, sharp pain is nooo good. Especially if it kinda like popped. Seriously go to a doctor, dont ski on it until you do cause if it is torn, or damaged, you dont want to do anything worse to it or it will just take longer to heal. Go to a doctor, you can choose whether or not you want to take his advice after you see him.

don't be a dumbass and say that a doctor won't let you ski anymore. are you really going to be having fun skiing like that? just go to the doctor and see if you messed up your knee and prevent future problems. i have knee problems now and they're awful, i wish i had done something earlier for it.

if you can go to the doc.  Otherwise give it a few days to see if everything is getting better, if it still hurts the same or isnt getting a lot better then dont be dumb and ski on it, 2 weeks isnt worth your whole summer and next season

mmmm...no

sounds like a classic case of torn acl/meniscus. If you want to be a dumbass, keep walking around on it and try to ski on it....like everyone has said, sack up, go to a doctor, admit that you are seriously hurt and move on with your life. Skiing the last two weeks of this season is not going to be worth missing a significant portion of next season.

dont go to a doc, go to a physical therapist. docs are the people to see when you have cancer, heart disease or herpes. you fuck up your knee, go see someone who specialises in musculoskeletal injuries.
physical therapists.
period.

RICE.

Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate...

Then seek professional help. As in an orthopedic surgeon or physiotherapist. Your everyday run of the mill GP wont know fuck all, unless they're a sports med specialist or live in some place like whistler where they deal with an obscene number of the same injuries every day.

well if it keeps hurting when you walk on it it could be a minor tear of your meniscus not to scare you or anything but i think it could also be a bruise on like the side of our knee they kill too but if it keeps hurting you might wanna go for an MRI
I am not a expert but i have had some knee problems before (tore ACl sprained MCl and a very badly torn meniscus) so i know a little
at least you know its not to serious when i messed my knee up there was no way i could walk on it
but if it keeps hurting after like 3 day i would go see a doctor just to be careful you dont want to fuck with your knees if you plan on skiing your whole life

the RICE is the best thing you could do without seeing a professional
like totally baby it until you can ski on it with very little pain

You can ski on it the same day, but the day after it's swollen: sounds like a partial tear.

Don't be a dumbass and get an MRI scan, get it treated as fast as possible so you're skiing again as fast as possible. The last thing you want to do is turn a partial tear into a complete tear, and do more knee damage in the process. Knees are too important in skiing.
