I dislocated my knee a few months ago and I'm camping with my friends where we can go hiking. Will I be okay?

Question

I have been going through physical therapy for about a month to help heal my knee. And it's helping, I can go upstairs now with very minimul pain and I am walking pretty much completely normal. Were going to buttermilk falls in Ithaca NY for about 3 days and we could go hiking on trails to go see the waterfalls better and I don't want to ruin everyones fun by saying I can go hiking cause my knee. The park has other waterfalls you can see without hiking but I still don't want to spoil it for everyone. So I need some oppinons. I think I will be okay but I'm still worried. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You should be.  Just in case stay away from anything too strenuous.

Answer 2

Hiking with poles will take some of the stress off of your knee.

Dont climb too high.

i know it sounds weird, but gojng up will be a lot easier than coming down (on your knee). just dont go up what you cant come down...
