Dr. NS I need some help. ACL/knee related

The back of my left knee has been hurting a lot, only when skiing... It's been a year now.

It's a weird tight feeling pain, and especially hurts when for example I'm going from sitting on the back of my skis to the normal upright stance. It also kills when I'm doing presses on rails or landing a little backseat.

I had a couple falls last season, but nothing super harsh in my opinion.


I decided to get checked by a Dr. back in May and had an MRI done. Dr. says my knee is healthy, with only some scarring on my ACL.



Why is it still so painful to ski? My knee also feels like it bends backwards at times, especially when moving forwards in the lift line.

Thanks NS.

Build up your muscles around your knee. Sounds like it just might be weak

I'm going to be honest with you, you will probably feel this quite a lot for a long time. If there is nothing majorly wrong with your knee, there isn't really anything you can do about it. The best thing you can do is ice, rest, elevate your knee with a pillow and take some painkillers (or just smoke a nice blunt) to manage pain after a long day (no joke), I got a grade 2 mcl sprain and dislocated my patella around mid october. The injury itself is fully healed but my knee is just sore. All the tissue is scarred over and it still hurts like a bitch when I do physical activity for over 30 min. You kind of just have to live with it.

Stretch dude. I had a very sharp pain in the back of my knee a while ago. I thought it was something serious and went to the doc to get checked out. Thankfully nothing torn, went to physical therapy. Stretched the hell out of my hamstrings which I would strongly suggest.

Side bonus.. The student assistant that stretched me out and did exercises with for a month was super cute and got to date for a bit.

Haha I have been, but as others have suggested I guess I could stretch a lot more.

Thanks for the replies Docs.

Hahah classic. My PT was super cute as well, and didn't mind seeing her 2-3 times a week for two months.
