A great holiday was had in the Italian/French Alps.  But what a dangerous sport!  3 were killed in the next resort due to an avalanche, and one of our party tore a medial knee ligament from the most simplistic incident, perhaps with the said melbourne osteopath to blame….

charlie at snow.A visit to the local doctor cost $400, a great reminder about the benefits of health insurance when travelling.

Medial ligament injuries are extremely painful which was what my wife injured.  BUT she healed up well within about 3-4 weeks and with some appropriate advice…:)  Remember if you hurt your knee and its very painful, there is a good chance you have done a less significant injury.  If there is a complete tear often the pain is less..:)
