I have just had an operation for ulnar release. It seems successful. How soon do you think I should restart climbing (comments on resuming mountain biking would also be welcome)

In reply to harold walmsley:

Was your ulna in jail?

In reply to harold walmsley:
If it was the the worst case and you had the nerve repositioned it means you had the tendons cut from your medial epicondyle. This is pretty much the same as a tendon release op I had and I was back to climbing in 4 months. Hopefully you had a bit less work done and you can get back earlier.

In reply to David Bennett:

I just had the channel sliced so my recovery should be quicker than yours. I was advised not to use it strenuously yet but have been doing more than recommended, particularly indoor bouldering with good mats. It feels OK: so far so good. I was hoping to get some practical guidance from people who have had similar done as the medical advice seems exceedingly cautious but it looks as though I will have to make it up as I go along. I feel ready to try some outdoor leading as soon as the weather improves.
