Ok so last weekend i messed up my knee playing hockey. they said it was probly just a meniscal tear, and that was fine because id be ok before the snow falls. I didn't feel a pop, it didn't swell, and i tramped that night. Well, apparently I have the most mysterious knee my doctor has ever seen, because the MRI came back and I have a completely TORN ACL, with none of the symptoms. My life is now fucked for a year due to PT and surgery. The only thing i want to do is ski. It was taken away from me. Wish me luck NS...

Because, if i bend it somehow the wrong way, my knee could blow up.

i tore my acl and meniscus back in march, didn't find out that i did it until august.
my dad told me i can't get surgery until i'm out of school and can pay for it myself...

i'd say you're pretty lucky bud.

I tore mine and both ski patrol and the ER said it was probably just a tweak, and I quote "You definitely did not tear any ligaments". Went home to CT the next day to the orthopedist, he could tell I tore my ACL without an MRI or anything, he knew right away.

90% of a groomer noodle = -125% freestyle

i'd say S.O.L.

i asked him that and he said i can do park as long as it feels good. i cant bend it wrong on purpose when im in my skis, and with this crazy brace itl take a huge fuckup to ruin it again. so by 90% i do mean park.
