Collection of positive rehab stories post-snapping/popping something

Pop in my wrist, visible gap there and lump in Palm. Both went away but diagnosed blown FDS tendon. That finger is thinner and weaker than the others permanently, but does not hold me back since I can't climb 14s.

Popped pulley tendon this time last year (actually got it on video)
Went to great PT, who is also a climber
He had me back on the wall very quickly (only jugs), showed me how to tape and gave me a hangboard routine
Six weeks or so until I was back on all types of hold and a few months until I was back up to my previous level
The experience taught me a lot about NOT closed hand crimping as well as the importance of warming up tendons

What's your tendon warm up routine?

Sort of pull gently on the end of each finger until the second knuckle cracks

Since I started this thread, I should follow up with a positive outcome. After tearing something tfcc-related in one wrist, 2 months later I tore my tfcc and lunotriquetral ligament in my other wrist. I blame hormones and bad genes for having chronically loose joints. So, it got worse before it got better.

Had to wear a cast on both arms for 6 weeks at the same time, but after 5 months from the initial injury I started climbing again. My wrists would still hurt with lots of holds and I contacted a climbing physio who told me I actually need to climb harder stuff, but less of it. So I’m mostly staying away from trad climbs atm and I’ve been bouldering in the gym and hang boarding. I’ve been climbing for 2 months again and wrists don’t hurt at all while climbing, even on slopers, pinches, and underclings. Since I typically don’t boulder, I’m probably 1 grade lower than I was preinjury. So all in all, pretty good outcome and I don’t think I’m doomed after all.
