Thanks for the info. I have started doing a few pushups each day. I will def try the arm band,stretches and exercises. Hugh, next time your in stop by to check on the ole craggin wagon and show me some stuff. Its hard to rest when climbing is your job but I will take that over an office anyday !

Climbers should go together and buy stock in Vitamin I. Not many days go by I dont take a few.

And Haas they would have to cut my arms off to stop me from climbing in May.

I had elbow problems on the inside medial epi.. i think. Did physical therapy, tried the arm band, in short, hate to say it but the only thing that really turned things around was taking serveral months off.

yup..time away...good for your psyche too....

Nope, you just end up drinking to much. Active reahab, brah, active rehab. Whenever my elbows start hurting, it is always because I haven't been doing the opposition exercises, as soon as I start doing those again, the ache goes away within a week or two.

that just means in reality you love drinking more than climbing, and that climbing is keeping you away from the things you love. in that case, quit climbing altogether and do what you really love.

Swinging an empty wine bottle in progressively more violent up and down motion seems to help(make sure the bottle is in a brown paper sack).

Be sure to drink and or eat with that Ibuprofin. That stuff eats up your stomach eventually. I only take it when the pain is chronic, these days. It was a viscious cycle of pain, Ibuprofin then Tagamet for a while.
