Have problems with those pesky elbows....post or learn here.http://climbinginjuries.com/forums/list.php?1Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:15:12 -0500 Phorum 5.2.9a http://climbinginjuries.com/forums/read.php?1,531,531#msg-531 http://climbinginjuries.com/forums/read.php?1,531,531#msg-531i am left-handed and been pushing my grade a little (well, up until this nagging injury)

I'll list the symptoms/nags:

i) on the back of my left hand if I rub the skin gently around the area of index finger bone I feel a nerve-tingle which travels to my middle finger just past the first knuckle. There is also some numbness on the skin when feeling this. Sometimes a dull ache in base of wrist (back of hand)

ii) pain in my elbow between the cap and the funny bone mostly after climbing sustained routes

iii) irritation more than pain at the tendon inside of my bicep near my armpit.

I felt this first while competing at an indoor gym and rested for around a month after that.
After that, I have been climbing moderately (not overextending myself)

This seems to be recurring but flares up in different areas more than the whole lot at once.

any ideas or am I doomed? would really like to climb 5.13 before hanging up my boots.]]> eatmorepap ElbowsWed, 26 May 2010 15:17:40 -0500
