We need an injury rant master thread!

67King
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!

  • Iâ€Tmve had more injuries, an almost constant stream of mild musculoskeletal ailments, since Iâ€Tmve been out of the water due to COVID-19. Iâ€Tmll consider myself fortunate to not be in the surgery required group! Same here. Did a lot of hiking in the Fall, then went for a trail run. Had to have PT on my hip for 3 months.......my last session, I walked in with a cast on my hand from.......my thumb injury was mountain biking. At least the hip didn't impede my ability to swim.
