Knee injury

About in the end of july this year i were skiing at folgefonna. When i had my first hit at the biggest jump i overshot by a little and i also think i landed with a little more weight on my right leg. At that time i felt some pain one the outside and under my right knee, and i can still feel it if i straighten my knee out and try to feel it.

Anyway, i went to the doctor today, and i'm going to take MR like 3rd of january. During this period, since i overshot the jump, i've been able to do everything i normally would do, training and such. At some times i have felt something though. So what worries me is that i might get much more of a injury if i start skiing again now and go big on jumps. I suppose that would do if i land bad again.

What I am asking for is mainly if anyone have ever had something similar? Does anyone know what it is? It would also be nice to discuss various ways to strenghten the knees in a overall knee sorta way.

Here is a picture of roughly where I can feel it.

I have gone through a similar situation. you need to get that leg as strong as possible. do lots of low impact leg work at the gym such as spinning and weighted lunges. i would avoid heavy squats, deadlifts or leg press because they may cause too such strain. Yoga and other flexibility training is also essential for recovery. it will help the knee loosen up and become stronger with more range of motion. If the knee does not feel better after 6-8 weeks of training, i would get an MRI to check it out.


trust me, a knee injury is not something you want to live your life with. get strong and recover because if you case or overshoot another large jump in the future you could easily do permanent damage.
