This picture implies weeks of forearm atrophy among other bullshit.

Sex with a sling is the most frustrating thing in the world - worse than working at a climbing wall in a sling.

On the bright side, I can do one-arm pushups now.

I had the same dislocation, hopefully there was no bone chip. Also did they splint it? If they did, you have the risk of a contracted elbow from now on. Make sure that you stretch that puppy. I took my splint off the next day after my dislocation. Now I have full range of motion, I think Elblat has a bit of a contracture on his. Good luck, and you will get good at fapping with the cheating hand.

There was indeed an avulsion fracture - a chip off my ulna stayed attached to my ligaments. It was splinted for 5 days before going into a sling and light physical therapy. Range of motion is better now, a month into recovery, but I won't be allowed to extend it fully for a couple of weeks.

My girlfriend is not the broken one.

What kind of exercise were you able/allowed to do 4 weeks and on in recovery? I am allowed to play guitar (no sliding..) but not do hand strengthening exercises, which is something I don't quite understand considering the strength needed to play guitar.

Its been a while (2001) so my memory is a bit foggy. I think they wanted me to keep the splint on for 6 weeks. Since I didn't have a bone chip, I was able to move and do more than you will be able to. I took a significant amount of time off from climbing, but I did remodel my bathroom right after. I took the approach that if it didn't hurt I kept doing it (again, I did not have a bone chip). I was back to climbing in three months. Hell I have taken more time off this summer in El Paso due to heat than that.

here is a shitty image of my injury. Just to stay with the photos that make you quit climbing theme.

The doctor allowing you to play guitar is probably a misunderstanding of the way you play if it really takes that much strength. It makes sense though to not strengthen your hands in the face of the bone chip. You want that to stay in one place and not have a ton of stress on it so it will heal well. Hand strength comes from the forearm which has attachments near your bone chip.

I am not a doctor so take my advice with a grain of salt and listen to your doctor. But do question them and do some reading on your own. scholar.google.com is a good place to start.

Cardboard Dog. Climb that shit. It's worth it... snatch the left arete and oppose friction on that fin on the inside of it. Tear R2D2's collarbone off and crush his face.

"We are a family entertainment center," said general manager Larry Matlin. "A rock climbing wall in itself is not unique, but a rock climbing wall with black lights and music is."
