Eljay,
How did you make your avatar, or did you import a ready made one from somewhere? I think it's great.

Are knee injuries common with ski-ing/snowboarding? Or is it just that they are the most debilitating? Where are the threads on 'ski-ing and a bad back/shoulder/ankle etc.'? There seem to be several unfortunate people here with knee injuries.

I guess i'm not an aggressive enough skier to get any injuries, I think I am touching wood, I do put it down to being quite a sporty person over the years and knowing how to fall. :mrgreen:

Also getting cartlidge work done a few weeks after i come home from skiing.
Can anyone advise me if im going to be in much pain? Was able to stick it last year but will i be on blues and reds or how will i fair up? and yes im going skiing :)

Being an 'old git' new skier my knee problem was/is degenerative arthritis (old age) and last November I could hardly walk or bend my right knee. I followed a course of muscle strengthening exercises and went on an already booked week to St Anton in January. I feared the worst and expected this to be my last ever trip. My thighs ached, my calves ached, my back ached, my shoulders ached, but not a twinge from the knee. So I cracked in another 'last trip', to Sauze d'Oulx last week. Again no knee pain. So this week I am going to the doc to see if he will prescribe me a monthly ski trip on the NHS as a cure for my arthritis - reckon I'll get away with it ??


There is nothing wrong with being an old git,we should start an old git club :thumbup:

I think my knees are just about gone and not due to injury I think it is years of sitting with them tucked up under me, Mothwer always said it would do me no good, should of listened.
age is but a number but why does it have to keep going up !!
