Knee injury and skiing

so today i hit a jump, landed kinda backseat, and did something when i fell and tweaked me knee. unfortunately my school health center is closed on weekends, so i cant go get it checked out now, but i went to ski patrol after and they said it felt stable and if i was able to get to the bottom of the run it probably wasnt too bad. i didnt really hear a pop that is common with the acl (if it did it was silent enough that i didnt hear it over me sliding on my side), and i can still put a lot of weight on it (did a few one leg squats to check and it was possible).

so my question, would it be a bad idea to film this weekend, assuming it feels alright when i wake up. obviously im gonna take a few weeks off hitting features but would following people through the park be a bad idea? i would wear a knee brace and keep it mellow and somewhat slow.

also would going to the gym and biking tonight be a bad idea. i've heard that its important to build muscle after something like this, so low impact biking seems like it would be a good thing to strengthen the muscles in my knee

sorry for the potentially stupid questions. i've never had a knee injury and with other injuries i would just keep it mellow for a few days, but i know how bad this can be so i want to get an opinion on this and not do any harm to it

depends..if you do end up going get a knee brace and strap it on tight, I wouldn't really take my advice but when I had a knee problem i never checked it and wore one and it felt a lot better

thats kinda what im thinking. i made it down the rest of the run, and later went back to the top to get my bag and made it down fine again. i think as long as i take it really easy (no features at all, just filming), and it doesnt hurt, it shouldnt be too much of an issue

yeah I was just about to add that, make sure it doesn't hurt but a knee brace would probably take off any pain if there was any, and especially if you're only filming

If it feels fine, to me it doesn't sound like you really messed anything up too bad and you'd be good to go. Especially for mellow skiing like filming

no i definitely messed something up. i dont have a full range of motion in my knee (about 5 degrees away from completely straight and can go to about 80 degrees the other way). my friend who has had knee problems did a test for the acl and he said it probably was fine, and that it was probably a deep tissue problem or a strain

Don't do anything till you get it checked out. RICE it.
The same thing happened to me like 3 weeks ago today. Really fucked my knee up on an overshoot and I thought I had messed something up right away but I didn't know what because I'd never hurt my knee before.
Ski patrol gave me some ice and basically told me to drink it off.
So I chilled inside for the rest of the day then my friend drove us 3.5 hours home and we almost crashed twice.
I could put weight on it at first, but as endorphins or whatever wore off it hurt to walk but I could still get around. Went to emergency that night and got through in super speedy time. like an hour and a half. and the guy in there said that it was probably just a sprain of something. nothing too serious 2-3 weeks out.

then 2 days later I go to a specialist. without referring me to an mri and just wobbling around my extremely swollen knee he diagnoses me with a fully torn acl and grade 1 mcl tear. so I'm like fuck. go to my family doctor and he hooks me up with an mri appointment and the results showed full acl tear and meniscus tear and small mcl tear as predicted.

so the moral is I thought it was nothing and now I'm out till late november at the least.

get yourself checked out asap

good to hear. i will get it checked out this week. even over a day after it happens, i can put my full weight on it, and it feels stable. it doesnt hurt just sitting here, only when i bend it a lot. i think it is just a sprain that is a bit swollen, and the swelling is limiting my movement and causing a lot of the pain from pressure
