Yo so basically I badly sprained a muscle beside my shin (peroneous) in April while skiing and wasn't able to walk for 2 months. Yesterday I was at the trampoline park and my leg straight up gave out and twisted to the side. My injury was still very fragile and now it has bruised over again.
Seeing as this injury has not healed fully yet is it a good idea to ski this season? Any tips on how to treat an injury like this? TIA
Well, until you can get a professional opinion, you're probably best off not skiing on it. If it just gives out on you on a trampoline, chances are it won't do much better skiing. Maybe mellow groomers. It sounds like more than just a muscle sprain if you couldn't walk for two months and gives out on you. Did the doctor do a ligament test?

Maybe it would be a good idea to invest in some physio then... No they didn't do a ligament test, they barely looked at my leg. What is a ligament test?
Essentially it's just a test to see if your ligaments are stable - they can generally tell if you have a tear or not.

It's probably worth at least getting an evaluation with a PT. My local one charges 100$ cash for that, which sucks but it's better to have an idea what's wrong.
