I went down last year like that walking into work except feet went out in front of me and I went straight down on my back. That felt real nice for about a week and 1/2 after that.

and I was 42 when that happened. Imagine that. :drunk:

Sorry to hear that, good luck with recovery.
We don't have ice here so I don't have experience with it (lucky me).

It's a b*tch.  A bad slip can mess up a 17yo plenty of times too. 



Knee injuries just suck.  Once they're fouled up there's just not much that medical science can do to fix them very well.  I've read that arthroscopic knee surgeries are coming under fire for being less effective on average than previously believed.


I have a cousin who broke his left leg in an accident.  He was a big heavy guy to begin with, and then he couldn't exercise for a year because of the injury so he got even heavier.  The end result was his right knee was pretty bad just by the time he healed up from the original injury, because he had to put most of his weight on it for a year.  Now he's basically ended up with two wrecked knees from the original injury on the left one.
