Oh, and here’s my sole knee injury story…
Few years back, late winter/early spring, skiing in warm weather. Was skiing switch and hit some thick slush which tossed me backwards, when I hit the ground I rolled, ski didn’t release (high DIN) and it torqued quite good. Lots of pain. Not much swelling, but I couldn’t walk on it right for about a week.
Even months after, if I put my foot down, and pivoted on it, it would hurt badly. It eventually healed, but shit took forever before I was 100% again.
PS- At the time I didn’t have nsurance, so I didn’t go to the doctor.
