ACL, MCL, whatever, just curious… October 1, 2008 at 9:02 pm #608377 roderick250 45 Postswhat did it feel like when it happened? I’ve done both my MCL’s, and they both were the same. you hear a pop on the inside of your knee, doesn’t hurt right away, but it feels way to loose. And then wham! that shit stings man. for me it was a constant throbbing.but it didnt hurt nearly as much as when i went to the hospital to get it examined and the doctor tripped over the knee. ass October 1, 2008 at 9:11 pm #608378 bcrider 4150 PostsMine was pretty obvious.I came up short and landed flat on a gap at Hood Meadows….heard a pop, felt lots of pain, and the knee buckled if I tried to weight it. Hope yours is just a sprain! October 1, 2008 at 9:35 pm #608379 bigdood 457 PostsHypothetically speaking what was the rehab time? Constant popping and internal pain/shifting when bending the leg at greater than a 90 degree angle? Tenderness when touching the knee area?

I’ve got some tendonitis issues and what you describe sounds exactly the way my knee often times feel. October 1, 2008 at 11:18 pm #608381 Stagger Lee 242 PostsIf you do have an injury hopefully it’s your MCL. An MCL will typically heal on its own as long as you don’t keep aggravating it. I’ve injured mine (left knee – I’m regular footed) three times (all Grade II’s), each time taking several weeks to fully heal. I’ve always been able to continue riding after a few days while wearing good hinged-brace. Just make sure your knee is all healed up and ready for all those skintrack switchbacks we’ll all be stomping out soon :thumpsup: . Your split-ski will feel real heavy if you don’t.

October 2, 2008 at 3:19 am #608385 deejayoh 50 PostsI strained/tore my MCL. Even managed to do it on the board. Symptoms were extreme soreness/stiffness on inner side of my knee, centered a bit below and left of my kneecap (it was my right knee). As others said, rest, ice and time did the trick. I was back on the board in a few weeks, so maybe I didn’t really rest. Oh well. I didn’t know about that “M” step. Another lesson from SB.com forums!

October 4, 2008 at 3:38 pm #608387 jive stick 110 PostsI have a torn miniscus, the result of high milage trail running amongst other things. No popping, significant pain at times with twisting or impact. Into it about a year, now. Bad news $5000.00. Good news. Although somewhat crippled, I’m not out for the count. Will be enjoying and also continuing my 30+ years of snow study.:thumpsup:wowasatch.com October 4, 2008 at 6:45 pm #608388 rms56 121 PostsCartilage/meniscus issues can lead to a temp locking of the joint…..like a severe catching. Not the type of complication you want to take to far in the BC. Downright hazardous in a technical situation.This happened to me from time to time until it became unmanagable….finally getting it cleaned up this fall.
