In between burns at the gym last night I grabbed one of the topropes and pulled myself up off the floor. I instantly felt a sharp pain in my right hand. The pain feels like it’s between my ring and pinky finger bones, the pain also trails down my wrist. Has anyone ever heard of or experienced this? What’s the best way to fix/heal it?

Nevermind. My hand turned black over the weekend and they had to amputate. Thanks for the concern though.

..have you been reading from the "book of the dead" recently?!

That sux.

so, are you going to get those prostetics like dude who cut his own arm off? that'd be cool.

get a chainsaw, man!

we don't climb as hard as you Yeti...therefore we do not experience the same pain...

Actually, I managed to get a nerve pinched in one of the knuckle joints. I climbed on it this weekend and must have worked it out (or completely killed it), because the pain is starting to subside. I talked to a friend who's been in the game for about 20 years, he said he's had it happen a couple of times too.

no chainsaw hand? bummer.

that's cool though...glad it's starting to feel better! see...we knew you didn't need our advice! did you ever get a sudden twinge like someone pricked that nerve in your hand? just curious...

yeti.
don't take a lack of response for no one caring. i think you've just broken a record of some sort in having an injury on here that no one had ever had before and thus had nothing to say about it.
congrats!
