Still injured. I'm reduced to hiking and camping to occupy my weekends. It's a sad state of affairs when what used to just be a 'means to an end' has become the end in itself.

I am officially rejecting the doctors diagnosis of "nerve trauma" as the principle injury. There may be nerve involvement but the more reading I do, the more it sounds like a ulnar collateral ligament injury.

There may be nerve involvement but the more reading I do, the more it sounds like a ulnar collateral ligament injury. Tommy John surgery. If you have it, you come back stronger! I've suffered from an ulnar nerve injury for years. Can't throw a baseball more than a few times without my hand hurting in the area on my palm around the thumb. My baseball playing days were over by the time the injury became serious enough to affect me, but it ended my whiffle ball career for sure. I was fucking good, too. Doesn't affect my climbing much, though. Don't know, maybe I'm not that great at slopers? Actually, I'm not that great at pinches sometimes because that does hurt if my hand doesn't fit around the hold the right way. I've never gotten the nerve treated beyond an initial treatment in college. Not necessary for normal life. Not sure what the treatment is like (ultrasounds didn't work). From what I hear though, the right fix isn't worth it for normal people (something similar or the same as Tommy John surgery).

I guess what I'm saying is, based on my experience, you don't want it to be an ulnar nerve injury.

I was going to back your play there, but then you had to make a reference to a shitty franchise second movie. You can recover from an Ulnar nerve injury, though. I damaged mine once and it recovered. Took some time, but I'm 100%.

Took some time, but I'm 100%. Don't disagree with anything you said (even if that was really the only funny line in the entire flick - and I didn't even get it right). It depends on the injury, but the ulnar nerve is damn easy to reaggravate. For me, I almost never notice it. And by "almost never" I mean I notice it with lingering symptoms once every couple of years or with sharp, temporary symptoms a couple of times per year. But what aggravates it are certain motions that, if are normal motions for you (and mine aren't for me), will hurt for a really long time without some sort of long-term recovery plan if you don't opt for surgery. But yeah, Tommy John is proof the the Yankees have a pact with the devil.

I was hoping it was a muscle/tendon connection but the pain is too deep and is not tender when I press on it. I can't even seem to reach it because it's so far under the muscle. That and the repeated popping sensation makes me think it's a ligament. I don't know. I'm weirding myself out looking at all these anatomy pictures and trying to figure out exactly where the pain is coming from. I need to stop.
