It seems to be getting better, though - I could actually walk normally today, albeit with some discomfort. <BR/><BR/>It wasn't really a "land and pop" injury...when I landed, there was a twinge that made me thing "Ugh, that didn't feel right!" but the real pain didn't begin immediately; it built up over the next few miles of hiking. Perhaps that's consistent with a partially torn ligament that I made worse with the additional use of the leg :-/.<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for the advice.Sam Weigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332414897030323612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-1151293550196578742006-06-25T22:45:00.000-05:002006-06-25T22:45:00.000-05:00Advice from this non-medical practitioner (but som...Advice from this non-medical practitioner (but someone with a fair degree of athletic injuries and injuries of people I know) the land-and-pop often signifies torn ligaments. Either fully or partially. <BR/><BR/>I would stongly suggest making an appointment with a physio, she/he will assess range of motion and pain and can make suggestions from that point. <BR/><BR/>It is possible to partially tear so even if you have torn, it doesn't automagically mean surgery. <BR/><BR/>Be careful about things like knee braces and tensors, if inappropriately used, they can make the situation significantly worse. A good physio can advise better and further (find someone who has experience with athletic knee injuries.)<BR/><BR/>DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
