Yo I hurt my knee the first week of the season. Just did a front two and stomped hard and hurt it. Super whack. Doctor said it’s a bone bruise and should be good in 8 weeks. I got a couple weeks left but it still randomly hurts. Has anyone had a bone bruise in their knee and skied on it? I have full range of motion but yeah it just doesn’t feel 100%. If it still is a little painful you think I’ll be good to ski hard in a couple weeks?

Doctor said I could ski on it now if I take it easy, but shouldn’t “do jumps and tricks”. Buuuut I can’t go skiing and take it easy. Gotta be in the park and shred hard ya know
 
I had the same issue and tried skiing on it after a few weeks and it just hurt like a mf. My advice would be to listen to the doctor and wait it out.
 
i bruised my knee cap / patella 3 years ago and it still hurts sometimes. i went back to skiing regularly a week after it happened. not sure exactly what part of your knee is bruised but i'd listen to your doctor. in my experience its not worth delaying your recovery process or risk making things worse, which is why i think my knee hasn't fully healed still.

biggest thing i’ve learned is that prolonged injuries are absolute ass and i’m pretty sure i won’t be skiing for another year or two because of skiing on a recent injury
 
Got a bone bruise in my heel once skateboarding on a random warm winter day and then decided I was tough and tried to ski. Got all the way to killington took one run (barely) and took the fattest L and drove home. I have bad knees as it is so I can’t imagine skiing w a bone bruise on my patella
 
I just cancelled a trip to SLC today due to a back injury that i didnt treat right two years ago. Take the time off, respect and listen to your body, you will regret it if you don't. Don't be like me.
 
If you are unable to take it easy when you ski, then don't ski. You'll be out longer/make it worse if you fuck it up again.
