Hello everyone
As of right now I have a 3rd degree ACL sprain in my left knee
its been about 10 months since the injury, in which time I have re-built it somewhat
the knee is obviously not 100% but it is way stronger then before
now I am curious
I'm from Canada and the winter season is back, and i want to take the new GF ice skating, since neither of us have gone in a few years
so this is why I came here, I don't feel like going to a doctor to ask, "can i ice skate?"
so if anyone here knows, or any trainers or coaches that would know, how much stress is on the knee's from skating, and should i avoid some casual skating?
i do have a knee brace, but i dont really want to wear it on a date
i plan on pushing around on my rollerblades within the next day or 2 to test the knee out, but that isnt an exact replica of ice skating
thanks for the help!!
