No. No one. Not ever.


Chronic injuries suck. A dude I know had to stop climbing because he kept screwing up the conective tissue in his shoulders...
Gotta be careful with that stuff.

Ah!

Left ankle, repeated sprains since age 17. Maybe on the order of 10 of them. Complicated by 3 evulsion fractures about 18 months ago, with two subsequent sprains on top of that!

I have some long term or perhaps even permanent neck trauma, too soon to tell really. Bit I think I will be living with that particular set of problems for a long time to come.

I can predict overuse injuries of my two middle fingers on the right hand and the middle finger on the left... in exactly the same spots I previously injured them. They seem scarred by those old injuries.

My elbows, both of them, don't do so well over a full range of motion.

Also I broke my left wrist and right ankle and both hurt when its humid and cold out.

All of my injuries are due to my own ineptness, every damned one of them. I should be a lesson to me.
