Knee problem?

FlighttzSo over winter break I skied like 5 days in a row(I almost never get to ski this much)and we were at Big Sky/Bridger bowl so I wasn't doing much park. I was going pretty hard, for me anyway. I don't know if my knees are just sore from going hard or if I injured them. I didn't really have any falls where I felt knee pain but I had a few hard landings/falls. What do you guys think?

icedMy knee always feels like I need to I flex it back to be comfortable until I hear a pop. This has gone on for four years and nothing major has ever changed for me.....

RAVAGEI always get sore knees from overshooting a landing on a backy or something so I fix it by wearing two braces bc I'm old (16)

icedYea I'm 16 too, and I've had to deal with my knee's bullshit since grade seven. I think I ought to head by the doctor sometime and ask about it.

7springsprodSore is ok! As long as it doesn't last. When I tore my ACL I definitely heard it and knew something was wrong as soon as I hit the ground. Be honest with yourself if you took any hard falls. A very common side effect of a torn ligament is instability of that knee. Mine would buckle a lot just randomly before I got my surgery. If you have any doubts, see an orthopedic surgeon.

csteezyfuck. today my knee was buckling after a gnarly double ejection. I've never really been injured before, where do i go? i've only ever broken my femur when I was a kid.

JsNeagleTo the hospital or an orthopedic surgeon...

csteezyword. just figured there might be some intermediary place instead of full blown hospital

JsNeagleWait a second... what? Your old? Your body hasn't even finished growing yet. Wait til you're 30 then talk to me about knee pain.

iced? I just screwed up my knee skiing

eheathYou guys think your knees hurt now, just wait.

I blew my knee out last February, and it still hurts. I slayed PT, and am stronger than ever but after one day skiing it hurts yet. Hopefully next year will be better.

You know it when you blow your ACL.

galardogodI really didn't want to make a new thread but I was skiing yesterday and on my first run over shot a jump by 30-40 feet and landed flat. I went to the clinic at the mountain and saw a physicians assistant and he told me that I had a sprained PCL and or LCL and should be fine in 10 days. I am not fully solid that I am that OK partly because it's amazing I skied away from that crash. So my question is has anyone had injurys to other cruciate ligaments and not the ACL and if you have done your ACL did it get diagnosed first try?

KnidenMine wasn't even close to being diagnosed first day (ACL). They thought it was an mcl sprain for 3 months and after it wasn't healing I had an MRI done which showed a torn acl and meniscus

galardogodCould you walk/run/ski on it?

CorruptArmadaWhat helped me was two things: (1) Short term: Taking a couple days off (while applying ice/heat/pressure) and (2) Long term: Strengthening my non-dominant leg. Go to the gym and either work on that weak leg or both depending on your case. Butt muscles especially ;)

You're going to experience soreness regardless but if you can get in better shape it won't be as bad.

The.FishThis week both of my knees are sore or something. I can't really run up the stairs and hitting jumps is painful. My knees feel more fatigued than in pain. They were fine all weekend but sunday night when i went to go to bed i noticed it. It still hasnt gotten better and its been 4 days. Any experience with this?

RparrIf you're not swelling it's likely just general knee soreness. nothing more you can do than taking some days off and icing. I get that really bad throughout the season
