Hey all, after two years of wrist pain, two MRIs, a cortisone shot, and a couple doctors, I just scheduled ulnar shortening osteopathy surgery for this Friday. I'm getting it done by James Reid in Boulder.

Has anyone had this done? How bad was the recovery? He said probably six months no climbing. :/

Also, has anyone had a surgery by Dr. Reid? I've heard good things from other climbers, but more feedback would be wonderful.

Any insight would be awesome.

Thanks! :D
