We need an injury rant master thread!

So at the time I'm typing this, I look down, and the threads on the front page contain: Tennis Elbow and Shoulder Pain Rotator Cuff Surgery Shoulder Impingement Broken Thumb Anyway, so a lot of us are dealing with injuries. As for me? Turn ulnar collateral ligament in my right thumb. Happened on 12/30. Took a week and a half to diagnose, as it didn't seem that bad when it happened. Anyway, surgery a little later, and 4 weeks with a pin in my thumb (sticking out through the skin). Doctor wouldn't let me swim due to risk of infection. 4 weeks. Grumble, that's 6 weeks total. Pin out yesterday. Still no swimming for another 4 weeks! Arg. It is bad enough I struggle to button my jeans (button fly). But now I can't swim for another month? I'm looking at almost 2.5 months. I'm never gonna get my pre-COVID form back!

  • Yeah! I'm the "Rotator Cuff" thread guy. Now in a foot cast from a botched flip turn that made bone chips and tendon damage. Next week, I'm going to a 2nd opinion shoulder surgeon to look at my "not fixed by P T " rotator cuff problem. Is this stuff age related or over use related? Sure, we can combine into "What is broken in you NOW!" thread.
