JRCO Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Anyone ever injured an elbow ice climbing? Last February, I fell and fully weighted my right arm on the one tool that stayed in place. It felt like a mild strain, no poping noises. I laid off things for a couple months thinking things would get better. The elbow is still giving me quite a few problems. It hurts to fully extend the arm while doing pull ups. I haven't been to the doctor but I am heading that way. Any advice to self diagnos the problem or some PT. Quote
Ken_p Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Get it checked out. there are a ton of nerves running around through there and you may have torn/strained ligaments/tendons in the area. I do rehabilitative massage and exercise therapy for athletes and have seen some bad long term elbow funkiness from ignored injuries. If nothing else an x-ray/MRI can rule out something serious.
