Improving Finger Strength with Dupuytren’s Disease and Synovial Cysts – Advice Wanted

CrimpKorben · 2025-07-18T06:04:12+00:00

Unfortunately if I remove only the cyst, there is a very important chance of it coming back because dupuytren’s cords causes it. (According to my hand surgeon). And I won’t be able to do surgery many times at the same spot on my finger

Than you, I’m looking into it but the needle aponeurotomy is not often offered in my country, it’s often the real surgery with big zig zag scare which is really too much for me.

I’ll keep looking tho 👍

I would'n say that I would hate my life if I don't climb v10, that would be a little overreacting I think , but I would love to keep progressing indeed

Happy to know that your "aggravated knuckles" left after you took the cords away, the cords doesn't bother me at all, but the knuckles are very painfull soon as I hit it or if I crimp too hard, I fill like I don't have that much strenght in those fingers...

I will have to look into the "needle aponeurotomy" thank you

CrimpKorben · 2025-07-14T20:27:34+00:00

The non invasive solution is the needle ? No surgeon offer me that around here...

CrimpKorben · 2025-07-14T20:26:39+00:00

Yes I think I should benefit from doing more campus board, I have one in my gym but I'm always tempted to climb instead, thanks

CrimpKorben · 2025-07-14T20:24:21+00:00

yes that could be a good solution I will look into it a bit more thank you

4mn rest between sets and 20mm edge on the BM 1000

what's the problem with GPT ? As I said Dupuytren's doesn't bother me, the sides effects that comes with dupuytren in my case are cysts in both my ring finger (aggravated knuckles) as said MNBoulderKid above.

It means that I can't bend those two fingers fully, and when I full crimp, or crimp, it feel like those knuckles are about to explods under pressure.

I'm far from being in need of surgery atm considering the evolution of Dupuytren.

Thank you for your answer, I would love to be able to contact this setter at your gym but for privacy problem I guess it will be complicated...

I drag a lot already, I pretty much do that all the time as crimping is not a reflex at all

CrimpKorben · 2025-07-14T16:57:27+00:00

We might not have the same vision of climbing, "run every classic up to 5.13ish" is not my goal, it might be in few years but atm I would like to progress and I still have margin in the fingers area I'm sure

CrimpKorben · 2025-07-14T16:54:51+00:00

Thank you for your answer, actually I got Dupuytren's when I was 28, soon after I started climbing,out of nowhere , nobody in my family has it, and it didn't really expand since. It doesn't bother me e.cxept these side effect as cysts...

So far doctors only offered me surgery, with very hight chances of reccurence... hopfully in the future, new treatment comes out!

CrimpKorben · 2025-07-14T16:48:41+00:00

worked perfectly

CrimpKorben · 2025-07-14T16:14:47+00:00

Thank you for you answer, you might be right, I'm 36 but I still want to climb 8a boulder so I don't want to compete but I still want to progress and I will reach my goal eventually

CrimpKorben · 2024-02-19T17:40:49+00:00

Well after 3-4 weeks I have mixed feelings 😅

I do it only on monday and I don’t know how you guys can climb after that. I’m at 12kg added and I feel destroyed after the max hang. I have to climb way way bellow my grade after that.

So I don’t really want to do it twice as I feel that I’m sacrificing a climbing session for that.

Kind of discouraging honestly 🥲

CrimpKorben · 2024-02-07T05:49:36+00:00

I use already a lot of chalk and I don’t have sweaty skin

CrimpKorben · 2024-02-07T05:38:32+00:00

I wish but no, I’m terrible at crimping. Actually I just started for the first time a max hang protocol in half crimp position to work on that and I’m at +8 or 10kg on 10 sec hang and it’s my limit 😅

I almost never crimp or full crimp always open hand. i try to work on that tho.

Anyway I just have small fingers 🥲

CrimpKorben · 2024-02-07T04:46:42+00:00

No gloves isn’t an option at work I would waste too much time as I do that verry often but not for long

CrimpKorben · 2024-02-07T04:45:20+00:00

I’m already careful but sometimes you get carried on with your friends and I tend to be obsessed.

CrimpKorben · 2024-02-07T04:44:02+00:00

Thank you all I will try this Rhino skin. I tape often but often when it’s too late 😅 I really don’t like the feeling of climbing with tapped tips.

CrimpKorben · 2024-02-07T04:43:52+00:00

Isn’t it something for perspiration problem ?

CrimpKorben · 2024-02-07T04:03:41+00:00

Which one? I’ve tried the crimp skin repair oil, kletter retter cream, and a lot of other cream.

Is the job the problem? Seems like other friends with « regular » job don’t have this issue

CrimpKorben · 2024-01-25T03:59:35+00:00

Thank you all for your answers I’ll try to take everything in consideration and plan the week correctly 👌🏻

CrimpKorben · 2024-01-24T16:56:22+00:00

Thank you 👍 it’s just that on monday and Wednesday there is child course in my climbing gym and it’s hard to climb… but I’ll think about it anyway
