so today i had a "forward twisting" fall on my knee.  i felt a slight strain on my acl and then my binding released.  it was painful skiing down to the lft, but when i got to the top the next run it didnt hurt.  i took it kind of easy the rest of the day, but it still feels wierd.  its not torn or anything, bt i was wondering if this will make it weaker and easier to tear next time.   is there anything i should do.  as it is now im akin the next three days off becase of christmas stuff.  and if in case it matters, i was not using poles at the time of the incident.

maybe paranoid, but im just really not into tearing my acl

OMG DUDE I DID THE EXACT SAME THING< AND IM NOT TRYING TO JUST SAY THAT CUZ IM UP FUCKED MAN.  i overshot the last jump on vermoster at mount snow on a safety 5 and landed flat, it tweaked my right knee a little but nothing was torn.  now right where my acl is it hurts, but its def not torn becuz it just isnt.  its been a little sore for the past week, but if you get a soft brace you will be fine dude!  make sure to ice it for 3 days, then heat all the way.  GL recoverinbg man!

ice it on your days off, im not a doctor, but i think if you tweaked/stretched it..it can go back to normal if you dont work it too hard. if your way worried, hit up a sports physio, not a doctor cause theyll say something stupid like take 2 weeks off.

I pretty much did the same thing about 9 days ago, messing around on my home setup.  I think i stretched my acl a bit, so i did some stretches and left it, and it was gone after like 3 days.
just rest it.
