Anybody have this?
2nd year in a row I've had this injury. Left ski got hung up causing the knee to buckle. Felt a pop and pain below the knee on the outside of the leg. Alot of pain turning or bouncing around unless I keep constant forward pressure on the boot.
Sounds like it could be meniscus tear. Any instability?
Dislocated fibular head? Easily fixable by physical therapist or good chiropractor.
That seems like a possibility. Will be seeing a PT this week. Thanks.
Ortho diagnosed soft tissue damage around fibular head but it was not displaced. Great I say, how do I keep this from happening next time I ski? Told me to strength glutes to better stabilize the knee, squats, lunges, etc.
Any other suggestions? Real pisser to have this happen 4 days into a 6 day trip,
Ya. Listen to your doc and start training.Quote:

Luckily, I have a gf who fixes shit like that for a living.
Physical therapist can show you the way.
As for the ski trip this week you could, but I can't recommend it, find someone to prescribe a dose pack or steroid injection along with ice and just get er done. Also booster strap outside boot liner and inside shell can help support.
