so today i had a "forward twisting" fall on my knee. i felt a slight strain on my acl and then my binding released. it was painful skiing down to the lft, but when i got to the top the next run it didnt hurt. i took it kind of easy the rest of the day, but it still feels wierd. its not torn or anything, bt i was wondering if this will make it weaker and easier to tear next time. is there anything i should do. as it is now im akin the next three days off becase of christmas stuff. and if in case it matters, i was not using poles at the time of the incident.

maybe paranoid, but im just really not into tearing my acl
 
OMG DUDE I DID THE EXACT SAME THING< AND IM NOT TRYING TO JUST SAY THAT CUZ IM UP FUCKED MAN. i overshot the last jump on vermoster at mount snow on a safety 5 and landed flat, it tweaked my right knee a little but nothing was torn. now right where my acl is it hurts, but its def not torn becuz it just isnt. its been a little sore for the past week, but if you get a soft brace you will be fine dude! make sure to ice it for 3 days, then heat all the way. GL recoverinbg man!
 
ice it on your days off, im not a doctor, but i think if you tweaked/stretched it..it can go back to normal if you dont work it too hard. if your way worried, hit up a sports physio, not a doctor cause theyll say something stupid like take 2 weeks off.
 
thanks, this is what i was hoping i would get as a response

im just bumping this to try to get more opinions.
 
I pretty much did the same thing about 9 days ago, messing around on my home setup. I think i stretched my acl a bit, so i did some stretches and left it, and it was gone after like 3 days.

just rest it.
 
yeah i twisted my knee a few days ago, it was mid day, so i skied through it, took a day off then skied again and again and its fine now, knock on wood...

 
ya get a compression brace and wear it when skiing. i did a similar thing playing football and ended up being able to ski because i took car of it get better
