I had aspirations of qualifying for the Boston Marathon in 2014. I think that's been delayed. But, I could be in for a crap-ton more of biking this year if running needs to be curbed for a while.
Looks like you wont be running for awhile either.
ACL reconstruction in 2009 (hamstring graft), along with slight tears in the MCL, LCL, and meniscus. The ski patroler who took care of me is a PT and doesn't think it's the ACL. The swelling is mostly above and to the sides of the knee, and the inside of the knee above the joint hurts to the touch. No swelling in the calf like when I tore my ACL, and certainly not as much pain, though there is plenty of it.Sucks. Prior ACL injury?
Riding one in Austria, my brother knocked us both down. I managed to get off to the side. He slid straight down the track, took out five more groups behind us, wrapped a ski pole around his nuts, and had to be taken off the mountain in a snowcat. Fun afternoon.Get well quick...
I had a subpar day on New Years eve at a local Black Forest place...but all my owies came from t-bars. Hate those damn things...
adBummorz. You have a bad habit forming...
I hit some steep ice and crashed trying to avoid running into the wife. It was an unspectacular crash...just awkward.Oh noes!
How did you wipe out?
Swell? Ain't it swole already?I hit some steep ice and crashed trying to avoid running into the wife. It was an unspectacular crash...just awkward.
I can't get in to see anyone until the 15th. Swell.
My ski did not release and the patroler was surprised to hear that. I am hoping that I just wrenched it good but swelling usually indicates something more serious. And I most definitely felt a pop.Sucks.
I've done it (clipped a buried something in a glade, too early) and I was SURE I destroyed my knee. In the end after a bunch of RICE and PT/strength exercise it was fine, skied a ton the rest of the season and was totally fine by the start of cycling season.
Curious; did your ski release?
Thank you Dr Peters.If you want to be realistic, it seems that CO is a no-go based on current evidence. Why push it? There'll be another winter, take the time to heal properly.
Ouch, sorry to here.FYI, I wiped out and felt a familiar and painful POP. Internets say I tore my meniscus.
True story.Mike Shanahan would have put a brace on it and made you ski 10 more runs.
Last time I went skiing I caught a chunk of ice that came off of a snow-maker, got spun around and hit a tree at a decent clip. Got a nice concussion and a free ambulance ride.Sucks.
