A member asked:
Yesterday was first time i went parallel skiing. i woke up with pain on the inside of my left knee hurts more when i bend the knee. what can it be?

MCL / meniscus..?: Skiing can stress the medial collateral ligament w/ valgus( knock-kneed) injuries or repeated 'cutting' or changing direction while skiing.If your knee continues to hurt despite nsaids and time, or develops swelling inside the joint it could be your cartilage( medial meniscus). This is usually more likely injured w/ a twisting mechanism and may require surgery... Good luck!
