  10. Hi fellow TC riders in various states of disrepair and lameness. I also damaged my left knee back in 2002 skiing. The French piste quack diagnosed torn medial ligament, but as time went on and the instability remained I got to see a specialist at my local hospital who felt with physio and ultrasound treatment the ligament would repair. 5
