climbing injuries

Seeking the source of pain around the scapula.

Fall at base leads to broken wrist, collarbone pulled from breastbone.

Bad elbow persists for three years.

Patient seeks to maintain fitness after microfracture treatment on fractured talus.

Persistent swelling in overloaded joint.

I have an intermittent pain under my right shoulder blade that started after a long day of strenuous climbing. It improves with rest, but comes back after a strenuous climb.

No way around it, climbing takes its toll on joints and tendons, and can cause the onset of arthritis, especially if you overdo it or are injured while still relatively young.

Maybe they should call it climbing elbow...
