I've had major tendon repair on my left arm a few years ago, severed 4 tendons on glass after a fall. can rock climbing snap the repaired tendons?

Possibly: I recommend that you check with your operating surgeon as the answer to that question . Your activity restrictions would depend on what exactly was done at the time of the repair and your surgeon is the best person to advise. Good luck!
