Knee injury advice
 

Well I went snowboarding for the first time in 3-4 years today. Had an awsome time and I loved being back on the mountain. Got on my bard and tore up the slopes like I had being doing it all season. Got two runs in before I hit the terrain park. Got comfy riding the park and began to hit some jumps. At the bottom of a high speed jump some jackhole was sitting right infront of my landing. Needless to say I did everything I could to land and then try to avoid him. I did a good job and major injuries on both parts were avoided but I messed up my left knee pretty good. Twisted it in a way it didn't want to go. It hurt for a few seconds and I continued riding for the rest of the night. Problem is, now I have a severe limp as it hurts like an SOB now. Cannot really ask nurse moma for advice as I was "in class" today. Anyway, anyone here a little medicall savy and help me out with getting this healed up or should I just tough it out??

i'm sorry to say that leg is probably gonna have to come off.


you can save a few bucks if you have your own saw and some superglue. :)

Acetylene torch, cuts and cauterizes at the same time. We know you can make a replacement out of spare SVX parts!

Sorry to hear about the injury, at least you didn't have a compound fracture like a skier recently had up on our mountain when a boarder jumped and landed on him . . .

i would always get an x-ray...could have torn something...pull a rice for now.... rest....ice...blah blah...

Get an ASE bandage and wrap it, but not too tight, set in a whirpool/jaquassi and eat asprin and ibuprofen, get "feces faced", and stay off of it for two days.












Yea, right!:rolleyes:

Have you tried driving yet? I'm sure the 6MT doesn't feel too great with a bad knee :(

Hope you have a quick and full recovery.

Tom, a tree and a rope will do wonders for you. Take Care

Tom

Agreed. I knew a guy who sold his '03 s/c Cobra because of a bad knee. The clutch was just too heavy to operate on a daily basis.

Get well soon Tom! :cool:

worked for me after a ski-ing accident! Only trouble was that I had to drive my MANUAL van home with a fractured femur!!
I only used the right leg till I got it in 3rd, and pushed the gas w the left foot for 50 miles! If you get the 'revs right', you don't have to clutch to downshift!!

I hope you can get your recovery soon Tom. :)



Do you still drive? I could just use my right leg to drive a manual car....is still okay....but not as fast. :D

Knee feels better today. Been on it but making sure I do not put too much pressure on it. I can drive fine as my pedals are not that heavy.
