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??

Tom

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 am a pessimistic optimistic. 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.

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!

Yea, right!
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!!

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.
