I fractured both bones in my forearm about 3 months ago during a mountain biking trip. They were completely broken and i underwent surgery and had 2 metal plates (surgical steel, I think) and several screws installed.
I'm somewhat new to diving and Am ready to get back in the water after a long recovery process.
I asked my doctor if I could return to diving and he didn't know what free-diving was but said yes, so I'm a little hesitant.
Will I be okay diving. I still have very little strength in my arm, but will not be carrying much weight as I am free diving and not scuba. Will I have a problem with pressure and possible air trapped between/under the implants? My main concern is pressure when I'm diving. I don't dive very deep, usually around 30 feet, and no more than 50.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
