Knee injury

So here is the deal.Yesterday I was riding on my home mountain and I had a sketchy jump and landed with my legs extended.So my left knee almost exploded.The doctors couldn’t say much ,only that I sprain my ligaments.So I am wondering if anyone had a similar experience and if someone could give me some suggestions what to do.
Tnx in advance.

Only sprain is fine;) Do you have to wear bandage on it now?

Yeah I have some bondage on my knee and a wooden board that prevents my leg from bending.Honestly my worst fear is that I may have finished my season already.I guess i have to wait a bit to see whats the deal.

Dunno how long you have season do you have in Slovenia, but count with at least one month with the bandage or at least having the knee too weak for riding and excercise as much as possible after being told to do that. Otherwise when your muscles aren’t strong enough, you could tear the ligaments completely relying only on the bandage that “holds it”. Don’t make fool things for a while and it will be allright. ;)

DirtyMind I am really grateful for your help:)
Thanks and take care.

you take care too, crosssed fingers :) (btw: f*ck left knees:D)

depends on which ligaments and how bad.In best case you’ll be back in few weeks.

Well i don’t know the english word ,but the Slovenian expression is Križne vezi.And I didn’t torn them only sprain.And yesterday the doctors pumped the blood out of my knee:(

you’ll be back in a few weeks for sure, don’t start too early but don’t miss training for your knee…

definitly get a brace for you knee though.

puh are they sure they are not torn?punping blood and water out sure doesnt seem like minor injury.

Krizne vezi = ACL and yeah, if they’re torn, you can still ride this season, but careful not to go crazy on your first day. It will surely be painful, cause the muscles will be weak. Just got word from my friend from Austria: he broke his ankle while skatboarding and the first day he went snowboarding…he broke it again!!! Poor guy, so be sure not to end up like him. And if anything happens…there are always glaciers in the summer :)

if thats the ACL, you definitly want to be careful with it. That injury can haunt you for the rest of your life.

I will definitly be careful and I’m gonna rest for a few weeks now.And then hope that my season isn’t over yet.And yeah Pav if nothing else there are still glaciers in the summer ,nicely said.
I really want to thank all of you for helping me.
Take care:D

he man how is your knee doin’ after the first weeks?

it’s getting better it isn’t swollen that much and i can walk normally now..yey:)
But it still hurts if i step akwardly and i can’t fully crouch but it is healing so i hope i will be shredinng soon:)
Although i have to wait till Tuesday to see what will the doctors say.
Tnx for asking:)

Gee, this weekend I went by the resort where I started snowboarding after my knee injury. Kinda a deja vu. I remembered the pain of every turn, but then again the extreme joy of snowboarding again. Was like being born again :) Lots of luck healing :)
