Anyone with knee issues?
Found some elbow neoprene sleeves that are about 5 inches long and cheap. They come smaller then the knee braces and fit my knee better lol. They will give my knee more support under the gaskets til its strong again. I will skate at the park in a few more days now!

claudine: Anyone with knee issues? (27. Oct. 2007 06:52)
 I went to the rink today. I was doing some simple rotating jumps. My leg was ok except when I twisted my leg slightly on landing of a jump, there was a touch of soreness on the outside of the knee inside the leg. I stopped since I dont want to reinjure anything. So I might have sprained the LCL ligament, or it could be the tendon, not sure. Its about healed, but I'm wondering, would the scab gaskets be enough when I start back at the skatepark or should I tape it for more support or get a better brace for a couple more weeks until its strong again? I might try to take it easy another week just in case. I dont want to screw up my knees. I must have twisted it or something skating. Just I dont remember hurting it or pain afterwards. What a weird injury! Least its about healed. Just wondering if others have had injuries similar to this and any advice?

And THANK YOU Irene for recommending to get gaskets. I am thankful to have them now. I think minor injuries are a good scare to prevent more serious injuries later.
