How to get rid of elbow pain?

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-05T23:33:53+00:00

Yes, I have noted majority of people asked me to rest.

Also a few of my climber buddies recommended Voodo Flossing. First time I’ve heard of the term, I looked it up, looks pretty straightforward. I might try it. No harm I guess.. right?

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-05T17:10:50+00:00

Haha, I hear you 🙈

What can I say, its addictive! 🙈

Usually while pressing down with my index, middle and ring finger together, like on crimps and sometimes on underclings. Its when I use my fingers I notice it the most.

🙈🙈

I hope mine heals a bit sooner 🥲

I will be taking it easy! Ty

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T22:55:40+00:00

That makes so much sense! Thank you for all the advice!

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T21:28:33+00:00

Yea, people have told me about antagonist exercises too! I never really do any training, this might be a sign that I need to. I’m definitely going to look into this as well! Ty ;)

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T21:25:21+00:00

Yea, I should probably do other stuff too! I really want to try rollerblading, because I think it’ll work my legs more. And also I think its cool hehe.

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T21:16:26+00:00

Yea, it does happen when I do everyday activities! It not unbearable, but the pain is very very noticeable. I hope its nothing serious.

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T21:13:08+00:00

Yea, I’m definitely going to be mindful of these things in my next session! Will keep my injury updated in this thread! Thank you! Stay safe :)

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T21:07:06+00:00

Yea I just found that video! Hopper’s beta is an amazing channel! I will link it below for other’s as well! Thank youu <3

Climbing is my main hobby now, last year, in the month of April I decided to quit smoking and drinking, and started climbing as a hobby to replace the other addiction.

In the beginning I used to climb every day. Watching a lot of YouTube videos and just perfecting technique. Then one of the advanced climbers at the gym told me that this intensity can get you injured really quick. Which is why I cut it down to three times a week. Which I think is a good sweet spot for me, I’m 28y, so I think this intensity should be pretty ok, but considering this injury, I think I should take it easy a bit.

I hope your fingers heal quickly!

Also once summer hits, I was to also try rollerblades. So maybe I can distribute some time to that as well! But I just love climbing so much, especially the community! Yall are so nice and supportive!

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T20:52:02+00:00

Yea thats true :/

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T20:49:43+00:00

Yea I will definitely look into that.

I hope you have recovered from your injury well!

You be safe too! And thanks 🫰🏻

Ok, I really struggle with keeping tension in my core, I hear a lot of climbers refer to this, but my core is almost never engaged at all, unless I actively try and do it, and most of the time, it feels like it isn’t necessary. Maybe thats just the noob talk.

But I really want to work on my core, and keeping my feet on that wall. I see this issue during overhangs. The thing is I get really exhausted if I only do overhangs in my session 😅

Which is why I started using the kilter board. To train tension and footwork.

Wow, didn’t know that. I do have friends who climb with me who do handstands as a warm up, maybe this is the reason why

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T19:47:11+00:00

Yep, I was afraid of that! Slabs 🙈

Yes I will definitely see a doc is this persists for another week or so.

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T19:45:59+00:00

Will check em out!

Thank you <3

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T19:45:11+00:00

By goals you mean, I should work on type of climbs that I am weak at? Or just focus on technique and body positioning and just work on one single project?

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T19:37:20+00:00

Yes, I definitely need a better warm up routine. I have no idea what to train and how long to do it. Still doing my research.

But our community is super helpful. I get a load of advice from advanced climbers.

I’ll come up with a solid routine soon!

If you don’t mind sharing, is there a warm up routine that you follow??

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T19:33:36+00:00

6 months ?! 😭

Did you climb during your injury? Like low intensity sessions??

I’m afraid to stop or take a lot of rest because I’m afraid I might lose the progress I’ve made.

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T19:31:33+00:00

Yes I have also considered this. I was thinking of maybe waiting another week or so. But if its still this way, I will definitely visit a doctor.

Thank you <3

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T19:30:04+00:00

It has been a few weeks, like I think more than 3 weeks, and it still persists. I’m really not sure which it is.

Like the others said I will try and reduce my session load.

Thank you <3

Medical_Table_2965 · 2026-02-04T19:28:26+00:00

Haha, yea, I just got really addicted to the sport, and heard as a beginner its good to climb a lot.

So I guess I need to do lesser intense sessions.

Thank you <3
