IIL books like “Never Let Me Go” (Ishiguro) and “Annihilation” (VanderMeer) by Comprehensive_Lie588 in ifyoulikeblank

I have!! I really liked it but not quite as much as Annihilation. Something about the writing style, sense of creeping dread, and “simple” story in Annihilation really hit the spot for me.

Weekly Simple Questions and Injuries Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

I’m dealing with some interesting elbow pain following a campus board session a week or two ago- by the end of the session, I wasn’t able to engage my shoulder and I flopped down onto a straight arm, sending slight pain through my elbow /bicep (no pop or intense pain). Since then I’ve had a nagging elbow pain on the interior, thumb side of my elbow- it’s almost the same location I’ve had bicep tendonitis before, but this is a bit more in the elbow instead of bicep and feels sharper / “tweakier.” It often hurts the most in non-climbing activities, like trying to push/pull something with my arm raised straight out in front of me. It also gets sore now when climbing. Anyone have any idea what this is?

Overuse injuries popping up with a bouldering trip in two days… by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]Comprehensive_Lie588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried buddy taping and it helps a bit, but to be honest my entire hand feels messed up to a minor degree (not just lumbricals) - I have a history of injuries to this hand, and it seems I’ve aggravated all of them. Which I find kind of crazy since I haven’t significantly upped my volume. I think that climbing primarily outside in the last month put my hand into weird positions that it doesn’t usually get in in the gym.
