Feeling good again by Carl Fortin

 Last year on May 1st I unfortunately ended my season with a torn ACL and meniscus. It?s something I never expected to happen. It was probably a combination of not listening to my body, skiing too much and not resting enough. After I got injured, at first I was misdiagnosed; the doctor told me that my MCL was torn at the first degree and I would be back on my skis after six weeks. I looked forward to working and riding at Camp of champions. When Camp of champions started, I still wasn?t in good shape and I decided to go see a specialist. After spending 15 minutes with Whistler?s knee-expert Dr. McConkey, my surgery was set for July 25th.After my surgery, I waited two weeks and then started going to the physiotherapist twice a week. From there it was a question of time - doing as much rehab as possible, trying to control inflammation (definitely use a Aircast Cryo / cuff) and trying to keep myself sane! I think it took ten weeks to make my knee fully flexible again. After getting back my full range of motion, my goal was to stabilize my knee and to start building all the muscle lost.It has been six months since surgery and now I am back on my skis. I try to listen to my body more and I use my BREG knee brace every time I go on the mountain. It feels good to be riding again. The reason I am sharing my story is to pass on what I?ve learned over the past few months. You can save yourself injury by listening to your body, resting properly as well as exercising. Also, if you?re hurt - seeing the right specialist can save you a lot of time and get you on the fast track to recovery.
