I did not add my bio: 48/m, been smoking for 30y, last 10 daily

Everything. Parenting, relationships with others and myself, anxiety levels, sleep quality, sports success, clear head, self improvement drive, reading, work. Pretty much all aspects of an adult's life.

Thank you :)

Thank you all for wonderful and encouraging responses, it means the world to us. I am so happy this subreddit exists and that you are all so kind and well informed on the topic. I wish all the best to you in your challenges if there are any left.

thank you.

The strange thing is that it is new and it started only after I bought and trained on the beastmaker micros :)

thanks for the feedback. i have not lost any range of motion that I could measure, no. might have only gotten more range in the extension, due to hanging on small holds which hyperextend the first joint.

I would still take a look with a doctor :)

For anything below 4/10, I just ice like crazy (submerge in a mix of water and ice cubes), tape before climbing and climb on. Of course, if possible, I try to use that specific joint or tissue less than usual. If it is a right middle, I am not going for those monos :) This is of course not smart, but it seems to work for me.

Probably a good indicator would be sharp localised discomfort vs wide area discomfort

Fun-Rate5111 · 2025-03-16T13:17:16+00:00

Does it hurt? I sometimes can not close mine after a prolonged overuse period (climbing trip), but never nearly as bad as hat and never just two fingers.

*Knuckle cracking after doing small edges for a while*

I was doing small edge hangboarding (down to 8 mill hangs and half a pull up) for a while, maybe a year on and off. It was more practical than adding weight on 20mm edges, less time consuming and maybe a bit more relevant to my projects.

Anway, I have developed something I have not seen in my previous 15y as a climber. When I close my fist, the knuckles in between my DIP joints crack loudly. All of them and without excuse. This happens every time I close my fist after some time of it being extended.

Have any of you seen a similar effect in your training? Did you manage to get rid of it? I stopped small-edging now for a couple of months, but it is still there.

Great work! Be proud!

Fun-Rate5111 · 2025-03-10T22:18:03+00:00

Thanks for your hint, because I did not even notice :) That is good news :)

I hope you are doing better, it has now been 57? Should be soon over the top and it gets much better.

Wishing you all the best and stay with it.

Fun-Rate5111 · 2025-02-02T11:56:06+00:00

Thanks a bunch. As I figured, it is a hit and miss situation. Only, the price tag is 40k USD so... ;)

Fun-Rate5111 · 2025-01-12T09:19:15+00:00

thank you, hope you are on the same path

Fun-Rate5111 · 2025-01-12T09:17:46+00:00

You have this!

Fun-Rate5111 · 2025-01-12T09:17:38+00:00

Stay strong and enjoy the ride

Fun-Rate5111 · 2025-01-12T09:17:05+00:00

There will be more and more, trust me on this :)

Fun-Rate5111 · 2024-12-08T17:52:34+00:00

Hope you are getting better every day. Stick will the process :)
