So I was hitting the Dew Tour jump line at Carinthia yesterday and overshot the first jump to flat, then like a dumbass still hit the second one and knuckled by about 5 feet. It felt like both of my knees exploded on impact. After sliding down the landing and limping over to the deck both my knees were really swollen and purple/red and were totally numb. I iced them 20 on 20 off on the drive home and most of last night, and took some ibuprofen. This morning the swelling is totally gone but now I cannot straighten them out all the way without a lot of pain, and I have a sharp pain on the outside of my right knee.
My friends dad who is an orthopedic surgeon looked at them right after the crash happened and said it is definitely not an ACL or MCL injury. I'm thinking it is an injury to the bursae in my knee but I don't really know what I'm talking about. Anybody on NS have experience with a similar injury??
