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 think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy. |

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!

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.

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.
