Be inquisitive and a critical thinker about what they tell you. JT **************************** Remove "remove" to reply Visit http://www.jt10000.com **************************** |

Nonetheless, "Go see a doctor" isn't guaranteed to be any better solution to the problem than the words of random strangers on usenet. -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== ============= The people who don't know what they're doing and the people who don't realize it are generally the same peodple." -- DAbel |

Going to a doctor is VIRTUALLY guaranteed to be smarter than asking random
people for advice with no way of knowing whether any of them even knows what they're talking about. The only way it wouldn't be is if (a) your post were to be answered by a doctor who was so brilliant he could diagnose and treat injuries better based on a two-sentence cross-language description than an ordinary doctor would after actually examining the patient and (b) you somehow could distinguish between his good advice and the (possibly) well-meaning, but ignorant advice of others. If you're worried that even experts are wrong sometimes, rather than ask anyone for advice, do whatever seems best to you. There's no reason to think you're less qualified than arbitrary advisers, and at least you can actually see and feel your injury. If that doesn't seem like a good idea, just act randomly until the injury either goes away or kills you. |

I got medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury on my right knee due to ski. I fell on ice ground, my right knee did not hit the ice ground, My left body fell on ice ground, and I twisted my right leg outside about 60 degree. It has been three weeks. I still have strong pain when I move my right leg side by side. But I can move my right leg slowly back and forth without pain. I take advil 400mg three times per day. Since I try to avoid to put my body weight on my right foot, I have pain and sore on right side of my body, my hip. I feel my right foot is stiffer than a week ago. Do I have to keep my right knee warm, exercise perhaps? How do I heal my right knee faster? Will the knee ligaments be permanently weak or susceptible to injury? Is it possible I can ski again? What rehabilitation do I have to exercise? Please give me some advice. Your help will be appreciated. See a physician, preferably an ortho who specializes in sports injuries . Ben |
