Hi
Im really suffering with it at the moment. its got to the stage that when I grip the rim on my pint pot to lift a pint - it hurts.
I think for me its a combination of a whole load of things thats caused it. Years of Climbing, followed by 5 years caving - then a sudden return to climbing down the climbing wall. Only been a few times this year - but each time I do - I over cook it and injure myself.
Im also looking at the way my keyboard & mouse are set up at work. I've noticed that my right shoulder/elbow are 'really' painful after a week of nights (like Im on this week). Thats because the office gets pretty cold, and Im sat for 10 hours surfing the web - (if its really quiet at work of course
)
Still not come up with any solutions, I need to talk with the HR folks at work.
On the verge of going to the physio.
Im a full advocate of physio therapy. Its a much shunned part of medicine. The british stiff upper lip attidude leads us to beleive you have to have been through a hidious car smash inorder to warrant physio. Aches and pains we should just live with.
Look at pro footballers, they get hours of physio every week, even day. Yet an 8 hour trip down a wet crawly cave is probably far more damaging to a cavers joints than 90 mins of footie is to footballer. (actually - thats complete supposition and not based on any medical facts
)
Anyhow - I've got myself some of them rubber resistance bands, so I can start doing some stretching and resistance work at me desk, and one of those nsd powerballs, (not sure if they are a gimmick or not - but I say try everything and find out what works)>
Let us know how you get on.
