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!

  • As an avid bicyclist also...I participate in a Bicycle discussion forums. Among their forums, one is for cyclist 50+. That forum has a sub-forum called “Pills and Ills.” As such...it doesnâ€Tmt get much attention from the under-50 crowd. Nevertheless...moderators will frequently move injury-related posts from other threads, to it. I guess they think people/cyclists under 50 donâ€Tmt sustain injury. Anyway my point is...Iâ€Tmm just agreeing that an injury forums on USMS forums would be useful. Dan There's one on a MTB forum I occasionally go to. I guess that is more likely to have injuries. Didn't post mine up, though, I'm not that active. Anyway, I really just posted this in good fun. Seems to be working :)
