Dislocated my elbow climbing earlier this week :////
Started climbing pretty recently, got a membership about 6 weeks ago and really felt myself improving really quickly.
Stupidly tried to jump to make the top of a climb I was projecting and couldn’t hold on so fell sideways. I stuck my arm out when I landed and felt my elbow pop out of place.
Was literally the worst pain i’ve ever felt. Had to go A&E where the popped it back in place and i’m stuck in a sling for the next couple weeks.
Looks like it will take me a few months to get back to climbing again but just so demotivating because I’m not sure if they’ll be any long lasting effects or if i’ll ever regain full strength and mobility with that elbow.
Anyone here had any similar injuries or just any bad injuries in general while climbing. And how was the recovery and getting back into climbing ?
