well it seems like evrytime i go skiing i mess up somehting in my knee, well atleast hurt my knee...

any of u all have the same problem?
 
I have torn both of my ACLs and once i am back from the most recent tear i will b wearing two custom fit braces my knees. They dont keep your knees from twisting but the keep your knees from hyper extending/flexing. Other than that I have not had any problems with my knees. The knee I had surgery on is almost as good as new. Hopefully this new one will be as good as my other one.

If you are worried about your knees work out your legs a lot. Your quads and calfs are very important muscles to work. Even though they are not in your legs your core muscles support your legs, so work those too.
 
ne very carefull. i tour stuff in my knee last winter and had surgery this summer and i gotta take it really easy this year. i would say get a nice knee brace and mabey go to a docter before you really fuck something up.
 
Def go see the doc. There are so many things that could be wrong and it is best to get a good diagnosis and take it from there. Once you get a name for the pain, you can google it and find more ways to fix it.
 
Braces for the most part do nothing. A placebo effect if you will.

Go to a doctor if your knee constantly hurts, if it only hurts doing certain maneuvers, maybe you should stop doing them.
 
That's what my doctor said. He also said that they make your knee weaker. He said only fixed and hinged braces are usefull during recovery, and during recovery it would be stupid to ski.

Knees are too important in skiing, always see a doctor and have everything checked out.
