I blew out my knee playing soccer, and now I have to wear a special knee brace for any running or skiing I do. but you should probably ask your doctor before you go out

what did you do exactly? i tore my miniscus a year and a half ago and i was back good to go in like 2 months after surgery, but now when i ski it gets swollen but the doc says its ok, take glucosamine to help(get it over the counter at any pharmacy)

i over shot a landing and landed on my tails and my ski went one way while my hips went the other way so my knee went both. I tore my acl, partially tore my mcl, and tore my lateral miniscus. doctor said i can ski by then but i wanted to know if anyone still jumped. i expected swelling but maybe i will get into photography if its a no go

I tore my ACL this febuary, and have been wondering the same thing. My dr says I can ski next season, but I am running and lifting every day to make sure my leg is as strong as it can be, so hopefully I'll be able to ski aggressively (and jump) next season.

My friend kyle tore his MCL last year and this year he's had no problems. He still tries for those rodeos off the 15 foot tabletop, haha.

torn acls, mcls, no miniscus left in my right knee, osgood schlatters in my left.. my knees are fucked, but that's what 15 years of racing does to them.

my kneecap was a foot and a half up and to the left from where it should have been. knees suck, it took a long long time of physical therapy and surgeries for that shit. It still hurts like a son of a bitch

the doctor didnt say anything about jumping to me , he shook my hand and said good luck with soccer in september and skiing in the winter. i might have to communicate with him. Ive passed my physical therapy sessions and he said what i do is all on my own now. crazy shit. i blew it out in march and he said basically 6th month window till i can do stuff. thats september. i think it might be okay i guess well just see how it feels.

i completely severed my MCL early last season and i was back on it agressively at the end of the season. if you did all your therapy and did all the shit you were supposed to at home and stuff then you should be good. just dont go hittin the 50 footer first. ease into it. i also wear a thick neoprene sleeve over my knee when i ski too. the kind with the hole right in the center so you cap pokes out. it helps stiffin up the joint a little better.

My mom tore her acl in an accident she had on one of our minnesota icy runs. She was back again just fine the next year until she broke her leg. I think each case is probably a little different though, so ask your doctor.

yeah i figured it all goes down on how i feel about it. I talked to the doctor about the knee brace and he said in honest opinion that the brace doesnt help at all, its just here and helps with all the mind tricks it plays on you. if you understand what i mean. i sure hope i wont be scared to jump. i just had the idea i was invincible. still am though

if your acl is in two pieces your knee can slide forward. like if you were sitting down and your legs were at a right angle youd be able to push away from your body on your calf, and your entire lower leg would slide forward and away from your thigh. its nasty. my buddy tore his ACL playin soccer and was doin it one day before he had the surgery.

yeah with my knee i was totally movin it all over and could feel it shouldnt move like that but didnt hurt. like when i stood up after the crash i put my weight on it and turned and i bent over completly like sideways not the normal way it bends like it went over like folding. it didnt hurt the doc said most pain is in partial tear. but i still had a great year. i switched from racing to freestyle and regret nothing yet!

Yeah, these knee injuries sound pretty painful. It also sucks how it's getting in the way of your skiing, sorry to hear that. Do the Look Pivot bindings help prevent these? Line bindings also pivot, but do they pivot in more points or..? I know Line bindings are heavy, they tend to break etc. no need to remind us all on that. But does anyone have any insight on the safety features of Look and Line in particular?

torn acl, mcl, both miniscus (lateral and the other one), and fractured tibia at x quals. i think i top all of you guys. i really wanna be able to jump again. skiing was my damn life, and this thread is damn depressing.

...and on a side note, blowing out my knee was proabably the worst day of my life. finding out that i couldnt ski for a year, maybe even the rest of my life was something that was really hard to accept, and hard to cope with. anyone else go through this? i havent cried as hard as i cried that day since i was like 3. bad news...
