I'm an idiot. I was bailing a 3 whip over dk's spine last week and just landed with my leg like completely straight. Right after I did it I was like POSITIVE i tore like everything in my knee. After like 10 minutes I was riding lightly on it again, but I couldn't do anything so I left DK.

Fast forward to now, a week later, I've been wearing my knee brace every single day and it doesn't really hurt to do anything in particular, but my knee just feels like weak. So I don't know what the deal is or how long it's gonna be this way. It's really annoying though.

Has anyone on here ever done anything like this, how long were you out for? Or how long till you could ride hard again?

knee/ACL

when i was wrestling a person shot at my knee hyper extending it. My coach said i should go the ER. I did i tore my ACL and i was out from november to april. Around april a started riding again. my knee would get tired and give out alot. So you might want to go to the doctors and get an MRI to see if you tore anything and if you dont when you get older it wil get really messed up. Its better now i just get little pains every once in a while and wear the brase all the time it really helps when you ride and ice your knee.

i just got off a knee injury like this i was riding and my foot got caught in the quarter cuz i was riding break less and i ended up out for a month and i just got released today with a tear in my miscues
i would go get an MRI and my advisee is don't move so you don't have to go back a second time

Yeah I thought it'd be really expensive to go see someone at the doctor's office, but my mom informed me that it'll only be 20 bucks. Sooo yeah, going there in the next few days.

I was reading more about ACL damage and it wasn't promising. People report their knee like giving out and stuff, and pain. Ugh, I really hope it's anything but that haha.

Just to update people on this:

I had an appointment with a sports medicine doctor, and he thought that there might be something wrong with my ACL. He doesn't think it's anything severe, but he scheduled me an MRI for tuesday to see whats up. That MRI appointment conflicted with my trip to Vermont, so that's a no go. Rescheduled to the 17th I think, where I'll know whats going on inside there.

Meanwhile, in VT, I've been riding pretty close to normally, just more cautious I guess.
