So last friday i was snowboarding and landed badly on my toe edge and bit it so hard into my left knee. I thought it was just bruised but its stilll bother me and i cant bend it straight without severe pain. It feels like its overextended when I do that. So i am going home to see if a doc can look at it....I really hope I didnt screw it up, but I have a feeeling I did, it feels so strange and painful.

I f'd my knee on a rail while snowskating a week ago. I walked it off and all is good.

Hope you get better in time for the wakeskating season.

You should definitely get it checked out. No matter what, get it looked at by a good doctor. The first time I tore my left miniscus, I walked around for nine months without knowing it because one doctor said it was fine and all I needed was therapy. I had to have two operations instead of one because of it, and was on crutches for a long time. Thankfully I got it fixed and went to all of the physical therapy and now its all good.

yah my mom is a nurse at an orthopedics, and so I came home from college and am going with her into work tomorrow to get checked out. The doctor is Dr. Madden....John Madden is his uncle, I think its coool, they look similar. anyways wish me luck, i hope its just badky bruised or stretched ligament or something

well i got it looked at today and i guess all i did was strain the heck outta some ligaments on the inside of my knee, he was like "darn i really wanted to do surgery, and you were soo close." so thats a relief...im just on some prescription anti inflamatories so it will heal and not just constantly hurt on me

i tore my acl four years ago. Worst thing that i ever had to go threw. Rehab for a full year. But if seven11dmd, has to go threw therapy do your sh*t. it helps alot.

seven11dmd, sounds like u did the same thing as me, what u have to do to get better, and how long they say to wait to skate or board

seven11dmd · Posted: Feb 06, 2005 9:53 pm Post subject:

i got a perscription for some antiinflamatory stuff so it will stop swelling and start healing, a knee brace to give me a little support but also just to keep my knee warm, and then just stay off riding my bike for a few weeeks.

Everybody's thinking it, I'm just saying it

WTF is a meniscus Smash

Meniscus is a cartilage in your knee. It's purpose is to distribute body weight (and impact) across your knee joint. It is very common to tear it in wake sports. Most of the time if you tear one, it is just removed instead of repaired.
