I’m glad it was nothing beyond the obvious problem!

Aah, good luck with the knee!! Hopefully everything is fine and it's just a bit angry from the fall. Let us know!
I had a scary fall about 18 months ago where I fell, it hurt, once I started moving I realised I was ok, I got up and skied another two runs, and only once I took my skis off for a break I realised that I couldn't really walk on it at all.I was sufficiently unnerved to immediately pay a lot of money for the doctor at the ski area med center to look at me and do the manual tests on my knee to check for torn things. It ended up being fine though!! They said it seemed to be a mild LCL sprain and told me to take it easy. Since I couldn't walk but I could ski, I skied cruisy groomers the rest of the day out of sheer idiocy, and then took a week or two off skiing.
Anyway the conclusion here is that we all worry a lot about knee pain so you're in good companyI could not even wait two days to see my physio back at home, I had to get my fears assuaged RIGHT THEN AND THERE at the ski area!!
You just never know about knees. I had this situation many years ago where I fell and could ski down but once I took the skis off I knew I was in trouble. Turned out to be a tibia plateau fracture. Unfortunately I had to fly home before seeing a doctor. Ouch! Better to get it checked out immediately.
