another thing to point out...i was skiing about a month before my injury and twisted my knee and felt some pain but it was only temporary...skied on it for a month and never had any issues, hucking myself wild...then the real acl tear happened...always get a knee injury checked out or any minor injury for that matter bc as someone who hates doctors and seeking any sort of medical help in general, it may save a larger injury further down the road, even if you dont think anything of it...because looking back at the first incident, i feel as if i strained it or partially tore my acl, only to have it fully rip out on a movement my knee has made a million times before
