Its especially prevalent now after I got surgery but it's hard to tell what is a real knee issue and what is just scar tissue/ normal pain. Whenever I smoke i start kneading my knees and get all paranoid i fucked another ligament up or something is off. Is knee pain just going to been with me forever now idk

I tore something on a junp at Northstar two years ago. Knee has been wobblesauce ever since. Can wall alright usually can generally ride okay with a brace but it just kinda sucks.

My knees use to hurt especially after snapping my acl's but now there's zero pain, they probably grew back or something.

Mine feel great unless I have to walk downhill...

Which is why I love to backcountry ski - so I dont have to walk downhill.

im so stoked, visited the doc today and found out I have Osgood-Schlatter disease, basically a super common condition and since Ima super active kid its not unexpected, I've also grown like 6 inches in a year so my quads aren't very big which caused it. stoked that I'm still allowed to ski and won't be causing any damage to my knees.

Dude give it a bit of time to heal and see a doctor. They can not do magic, but they can keep help your knees. I hope you recover.

Get stronger, muscles absorb energy that won't be strain on ligaments. Lifting and stretching will go a long way.

Yeah, it is unfortunate that we can send folks to the moon, blow up the world who knows how many times over, but it is impossible to figure out a reasonable health care system that provides everyone with coverage.
