Help!-problem with my knee!

These past few days, my knee has been actin kinda funny. Times when it really really hurts, then then the pain goes away.
It started when i wasnt even skiing. After a rough day at the hill, i was puttin my skis in my trunk, and trying to get them untangled from my seatbelt. My knee was on the bumper when i slipped and my knee was bent the other way for a milisecond after a little snap.
The pain isnt bad or anything and i can still ski, but its getting worse and worse. This really sucks since i just spent all of last summer and last fall getting from a pinched nerve caused by a ruptured disc in my back.
Who has any experience with this, and what should i do? MRI's have a really long waiting list, so we dont know what the problem is yet.

You should probably stop skiing. I went skiing on a torn ACL and caused evne more damage. You should defintely have a doctor look at it. I didnt think mine was serious at first either, but you never know, its better to be on the safe side. Good luck!

Three months? Why so long? They should be able to do it this week.

there are only 3 MRI's that are within 1000km from where i live and almost 2 million people in that same area. and because we have universal healthcare, people take MRI's when they dont need to, maybe the hear it off oprah or something. Unless it is an emergency, i dont see it until 3 months from now.

you should definitely be careful with your knee bro...knees can be really touchy and if they go wrong or worsen, things can get really shitty and never ever be the same...take care of it and try your best to stay off the mountain with it...you just raise the chances of severely screwing up your knee...that really blows that you can't get an MRI done sooner but i'd def wait it out and give your knee some rest (even if it doesn't feel that serious...that's the smartest thing to do and i'll be the first to admit that taking time away from the mountain to heal will be hard as shit and unbearable...but a busted knee and serious rehab can be just as unbearable if not moreso...good luck, hope you heal up soon

Ok, don't fuck with knees. Go back to your doctor. Ask him for a semi decent diagnosis. And then ask him/her for treatment options. Real treatment options. Physio and a strengthening program should get you back up to healthy. And sign yourself up for an MRI, just in case.
Remember: Jib_This is not a doctor. His advice is based purely on experience and/or 'common sense'. GO SEE A FUCKING DECENT DOCTOR!

dude i did that same thing this year i was in the parking lot fucking around on this little mound of snow.. i was goin up and doing taps and riding switch out of them and the next thing i knew i twisted my knee slightly and i all of a sudden couldn't stand. it hurt like a bitch for a little while then went away and hasn't come back as bas since. but after a hard day of skiing or a couple days of skiing my MCL is super tender... is this a bad thing?

ahh Petek, poor guy, one of the only flaws in the near perfect Canadian health care system. I feel for you. Where exactly on your knee does it hurt man? Like, the inside right around/above the kneecap? Does it hurt if you semi-straighten it and someone pushes on it hard from the back to make it bend? Chances are good you could have a semi-strained ligament. You take a bad fall and you could be done for a few months.
It isn't worth it man. Take a week or maybe even two off and keep your weight off your leg. Ice it and keep it elevated. This is coming from someone who just messed up his knee on Wednesday. take care of your knees man, they are tricky things

Hahahaha, looks like Canada's 'only thing that's better than America' isn't superior to our's after all. And what you did sounds like a torn or snapped ACL. Hope you get better soon.

I messed up my knee last year landing a 450 of a 50 foot kicker cuase i ended up way past the landing. I couldnt walk on it after a few hours. I took 6 weeks off for it to heal and hit the slopes after that and it was back to normal. Make sure you give your knee proper rest. I have a feeling what I had was a torn mcl. Listen to your body and dont do anything stupid.

^^exactly, I know its hard, but you really shouldnt ski until you get a diagnosis. Its really hard and frustrating, but knees arent something you fuck around with.
