This is a follow-up poll for all those that participated in the first elbow tendonitis poll: http://www.redriverclimbing.com/viewtopic.php?t=11111

I have been pretty free of elbow problems, though I haven't really been climbing either...

Actually, I used to have really bad problems with both, when I was climbing a bunch. Tried the braces, tried taking a few weeks off once, used to eat ibuprofen like candy. Didn't really help. What ended up working was lots and lots of opposition training and taking aleive instead. Push ups, dips, reverse and regular wrist curls, and wrist twists. It took a couple weeks for it to start working, but it did.

I was developing pain in my right elbow when I was doing a bunch of pull ups. Wasn't doing much else. I stopped the pullups and the pain slowly subsided. I'm now doing dips, pullups, and pushups and no pain in the elbows.

I have so much nerve damage on my left side from a spinal injury that the whole left side is the hard one to get in shape. I can't complain since at the time of the injury I had no movement or feeling on the left arm. Now I have to work twice as hard on the left side to be able to keep it strong also it is the one who gets injured more often if I don't do weight training on that side.

i tend to have trouble with tenosynovitis / dequervains at the wrist.... weird. ice climbing really flared that up a few weeks ago...
