Coming back from knee injuries

Ok so about seven weeks ago I fucked up my knee playing lax. I had a second degree sprain of my mcl and a tear in my meniscus. No surgery,(just phisical therapy), but, like I said, it has been 7 weeks since the injury and my parents still don't want me to ski. Has something like this ever happened to anyone and if so how long did it take until you could ski again?

talk to your doctor about when you can ski again.

Talk to your doctor to find out if Cialis is right for you.

i have a similar situation- i partially tore my mcl last weekend playing soccer, and am hoping to get it back in shape in time for coc session b. i'm pretty sure i'll be healed, no surgery or anything. what should i do for rehab? i'm getting a tramp, and i have a little rail i jib on w/out skis. should that be enough to get strength back?

definitly talk to a good phisycal therapist. You might think your knee can heal on its own, but your other leg muscles really need help after an mcl tear.

try to do your major surgeries in may/june for maximum healing time before it snows again
