He then shaved it as smooth as possible.
I am now one week post op but just now learning of the meniscal damage.
He says i will have a bit of “give” in my leg from now on because of the shaving. My question to you is will i be able to skate hard again? (with an acl brace on) I have not once found a concrete answer to my question. What kind of limitations should i expect? Will i be able to skateboard down stairs again? I realize physical therapy is the best way to achieve my goal of skating again, I would just like to know prior about my meniscal tear, and if i can still skate hard if i take care of it.

thank you.

I was in a cast for 6 weeks. After cast was removed I was still having a lot of pain so doc sent me to have a MRI done. It showed that there was nerve damage. I have tried pain medicine everything and my pain is worse now than when I first broke it. It starts out in my foot and as time passes it will travel up my leg into my knee and then get up into my thigh. It is a sharp pain like someone is stabbing my all the way into my bone. What could be wrong with my foot ?

I have waited 2 months before i started training again. When running now i do not feel any pain except that my knee feels heavy at times. Is that normal as i only started light training 3 days ago? Is it advisable to continue slow jogging and day by day increase the pace and distance?
