Don't get your hopes up for full ROM - it'll never be the same again as the whole thing has been tightened up. My external rotation is terrible but you just learn to adapt. Lots of pain is completely normal and if you do as instructed by the surgeon and don't push it, its very unlikely that'll you have done something bad at this stage. But most cases of the procedure failing are people going too hard too soon, which I take to meaning when they return to sport and not during the rehab process during which most people are very cautious.

The good news for today is - after 11 and 1/2 months, i reckon I can go back to normal climbing! I did 5 laps of Squeakeasy on a top rope today with no dramas. Leading 19s again with no dramas. And in 3 weeks time I get to run raucous on Frog. I am very excited.

Great to hear Wendy. I am also back to more-or-less normal climbing, after a similarly long period.

Yeah, it was nice to get out climbing with you again Wendy. I'm Happy my ankle behaved too though it's only been a bit over a month, not the better part of a year.

Frog, Andrew, Frog ... it is calling you ... very ankle friendly 5 minute access. Have you had a look at the guide on qrank?
