In reply to leehawkins:

Sounds rough. Pester the NHS - you are too young to give up. With the right meds, treatment and physio I'm sure you'll get some more climbing done. Work out exactly what types of movement are causing the pain too. You can often adapt your climbing style to your injury. Good luck.
