Hurt my knee really bad today

[remedy1107]

Hey! I hurt my knee really bad today on my toe loop (dont ask, when i took the fall my coach just turned to me and said "what happened!?!?") and now there is a huge bump on my knee and it really hurts. I've had ice on it, but I am skating again tomorrow and I wanted to know if anybody had any advice on skating in pain, even though I also have new skate issues (new customs) but thats besides the point.

So, any advice on what to do to help my knee? I mean I've gotten things like this before, but didnt have to skate the next day

Because a knee injury took me off the ice for many months (when I skated the first time) I would be inclined to pass on skating today and get in to see a specialist in sports medicine ASAP and have it checked out. If you have done damage to the knee cap (bone chips) you could seriously damage the joint by working it too hard. It is better to miss a couple of sessions than to miss 6 months or a year!

JMHO

I would skip skating today too, and if it continues to hurt, see the doctor. A while ago, I fell on the Tango Romantica (yes, dance) and kept skating for the two hours remaining in the practice session, doing all my jumps, runthroughs and everything. When I got home, I couldn't make it up steps or put weight on it while it was bent. I went to the doctor, had an MRI, and found it I had lots of soft tissue damage. I was off the ice, on crutches for over two weeks, all because of a fall on what was essentially forward progressives.

mom took one look at it and made me stay home, which now that I think of it was a good idea cause it doesnt look too good. Mom is taking me to her specialist cause she had knee problems too and I like to fall on my knees.
