Chances are if you don't remember doing anything specific, it prolly isn't too bad. Stick with basic care stuff for now. Ice 20 min on with an hour or two off, repeat as necessary. In another day or so move to heat on the same on/off schedule. If it doesn't get better see seldon's post.

Sledon, don't be an ass the guy hurt himself and was asking for help, grow up.

If it's been hurting for 2 days (badly... and I'm assuming swelling), then he should probably at least be on crutches. I badly sprained my MCL in a bike crash and was on crutches for 4 weeks, along with the usual RICE + advil routine. But I had to have an MRI done to make sure I hadn't actually torn anything. If it's already been hurting for two days, and hurting badly enough to make it worth posting about (like I literally couldn't bear weight), he should be in a doctor's office.

You could have said:

You should go to the doctor

or

Have you seen a doctor?

or

Go to the doctor, bro

See it's easy! I'm all for kicking people in funny ways when they're down, but not funny is = .

Listen I've been helping injured people for over 10 years now. I do this for a living, don't try to come off to me like you know what needs to be done just because you hurt yourself once. It doesn't work like that.

And my comment to you was based on your immature need to belittle other people on the board just becasue you take a lot of shit from others. "Go to the fucking doctor" is a lame attempt to make yourself sound and feel more important than you are. If you have learned nothing else from posting o this board it is that we are a network and here to help eachother out. Do some of get a lot of shit....yes. Do those of us who get a lot of shit deserve it....most of the time. IMHO, AKPM did not deserve shit for asking for help for an injury and you on the other hand deserve the shit I am giving you now.

Now tell AKPM you are sorry and go back to playing nicely with the other boys and girls.

Ok its not that bad they are both just sore and tender to the touch and once in a while I'll start walking and get a sharp pain. Yesterday I had a super sharp pain in the MCL area. I'm gonna rest today hope it gets better. Should I stop skiing for a while though, rest up for the (hopefully) epic MArch we normally have?

[creaker]

Go run some gates instead- it'll really help your skiing. Good luck with the knee issue.

Hmmm.... I wasn't trying to rag on him. Vinman, I certainly didn't to belittle your medical knowledge - there's just no reason for him not to go to the doctor, and based upon what I was told for the future, if he continues to walk around on it he could be permanently damaging himself.

And if I had read that thread I probably would have called him on it too. phUnk doesn't scare me. {winky dude here}

I understood that your post was not directed at me, that was not the issue. I personally was not offended by your post. I'm a big boy I can handle shit when its thrown my way.

But your post sure sounded like you were ragging AKPM, (see crashes post). All i'm saying that when another maggot asks for help with an injury no matter how much shit they generally get or how many BS posts they put up, if you don't have anything constructive to say then keep it to yourself. I have probably deleted more posts before I submit them than I have actually submitted beacuse I thought twice about what I was saying.

As for this thread it needs to die now. AKPM has said his knee is not all that bad anyway.

got it figured out its classic skiing and not alpine skiing
