back in the game
back in the game
I've been off from climbing for 4 months with tendonitis but am finally starting to recover. I've never had an injury that kept me away from climbing for so long, anybody have any experience/advice on how to get back in the game without over doing it and getting re-injured?

Where is the tendonitist? Elbow? Shoulder?
What helped me was weight training to build the muscles around the affected area. Basically your tendons have been doing all the work and they've had it. Now you've got to get your muscles in there helping. Start with very light weights.
Pay attention to what range of motion hurts and then don't do it till you're stronger or at least very well warmed-up.

I feel for you .
I too have been plagued with a nagging shoulder tendinitous.
Keep working at the re-hab exercises you've been given .
You were given some weren't you ?
Stick with it like religion .
They do help !
I know .
They've helped me and i'm 45 yrs young .
As far as climbing goes ... my personal advice ....
read your body .
Have easy days & have moderate days .
Your shoulder will thank you for it .

Sled,
I second what the others have said. Don't push it, and for God's sake, listen to your body or the four months will turn into eight, then 12... I used to get tendon injuries all the time, until I smartened up and started doing what my doc told me to do.
I've just been laid up with a ruptured Achilles, so I'm looking down the business end of a 3-month 'holiday' from climbing. !@#$#$.
