Ok, I'm trying to stay calm right now, but I'm pretty stressed and anxious.

Had a pretty bad fall today that left the inside of my right knee sore. It can still bear weight, I can still walk normally, there is no swelling yet, and I did NOT here a pop of any kind.

Just want the opinions of the ski community, probably the sport that knows the most about this particular situation.

Thanks for your help and +k to anyone who can give me any info. I'm pretty paranoid right now do I could just be making a mountain out of a molehill.

If you tore it you'd know, grow a set and don't be a pussy. Stretch that bitch out and do some exercises.

likely just MCL. Almost every ACL that I have seen, the athlete says the knee "doesnt feel right", MCL is super common too, so odds are the acl is fine. grab a railing - can you squat holding onto the railing? Thats a decent functional test. ACL tears will feel the knee lock a bit ont he way up. Hti that bitch with some ice, rest up, you are likely in for an uncomfortable season. bummer dude

it could be a slight tear to your mcl. it happened to me, but i knew damn sure something was wrong and i couldn't fully put wait on for a couple days. Go to physio or the clinic if your worried, knees are something to not fuck around with, especially if you want to ski until you are old and grey

so you can walk, bear weight on it, no swelling, and no pop. you're probably fine and just have an excess of sand in your vagina.

But...how the fuck should any of us know? go to a doctor, jackass.

If you think something might be wrong GO TO THE DOCTOR. NS CAN'T DIAGNOSE YOUR INJURY OVER THE INTERNET.

I really fucked my knee up playing soccer on Saturday. I can put my entire body weight on it. It is steadily getting better ever day with ice and rest. Went to see a doc yesterday... Torn ACL, torn posterior meniscus, strained meta-collateral ligament. So it doesn't mean shit that you can put weight on it or that it is getting better. See a doctor.
