I'm used to the occasional prang that's an occupational hazard in wilderness and highball bouldering, but this is a bit of a setback.
As lockdown informed myself, as well as a lot of us, that these little forays among the pebbles is important for our mental health... Well I'm in full innovative scheming mode.
Anyone else had experience of this particular kick to the balls? :shit:
I'm a physio and ruptured mine on 20th Nov last year. I'm presuming you've had it potted, been referred to orthopaedics and placed on anticoagulants?? Any questions let me know. Good luck.
Cheers sheavi
Due to being seen by Ysbyty Gwynedd's answer to Charlie from casualty within a couple of hours of my prang, I got to see the consultant the next morning and put straight in a vacuped.
Consultant was happy enough to leave me to manage my boots protocol and see me in 8 weeks. (Skinny climbers ankles so he could see pretty clear what was going on). However, as I was still in the shockish stage of things and talked a good spiel, I am slightly worried they've put too much trust in me .
Anticoagulant was a shock as it's my first experience of doing my own injections. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions further down the road, but I'll probably DM you if that's ok.
The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is I keep weighting the boot, as crutches are never quite where you need them (or I need to carry a brew), am I going to hell?

Welcome on board :beer2: :slap: :no:Wellsy said:LCL business of some sort.
:yes: :smartass: :yes: :smartass: :yes:Time to get really good at weighted pullups I guess.Time to be extra careful to take it steady and not go overboard on upper body training as compensation because I really really don't want any fucking upper body injuries as well, trust Fiend on that.
Wellsy said:LCL business of some sort. Probably not a complete break but more a sprain or tear. May need surgery may not. On crutches. Leg would best be described as "fucked" but hopefully not too bad. Probably off climbing at least until the knee clinic/physio in a month. Time to get really good at weighted pullups I guess.
