So I injured my acl/lcl, or maybe i tore it, not sure.. still waiting to do an MRI, x ray showed something abnormal. I can still put pressure on the leg, but cant fully straighten, nor can I can I fully bend it back, obviously because the pain and it feels like something is stopping it. I injured it sunday, twisted knee, heard a loud pop/snap.
Obviously cant run, doctor said could be up to 3 months to let it heal. So if I cant run for 3 months, there goes all my progress for running..literally. Is there any way around that?
I forgot to ask him about deadlifting... since running is more higher impact.. ho safe would dealifting be? I def cant stop it for 3 months because again, made such good progress.
I mean i can do shotse shitty back enxtensions, but nothing makes me feel as good and strong as a nice 300lb deadlift.
How bad are deadlifts with injured ligment in the knee?
Your progress will not go away. Your body will be able to get back into it faster than before when you are healed up and post-therapy. DO NOT RUN OR USE IT UNTIL IT IS HEALED.
Deadlifting is NOT advised either, as there is plenty of stress placed on the entire leg, including all joins, ligaments, and tendons. DO NOT deadlift. It could cause permanent injuries at this point.
My advice is to continue resting and let your body heal.
