OK, leaving out when you deck, what pains to you get. I've heard alot about tendon problems because of climbing and things like that for the feet too. Well just recently i have noticed a strange thing with my wrists. THEY POP OUT!! It does not realy hurt, I just pop of and once the weight is off of them it pops back in. It happens everynow and then when i have to pull hard at some odd angle of the hold. It has not happened on any jugs just edges when my hands are out and a little above my head. I realy dont mind this other then that i pop off every time it pops out.
Note: It has only happed like 4 or 5 times.

What problems do you have?
How can I and others prevent that?

I have the same wrist popping problem, but its only when I haven't climbed in awhile, and pull on a hold funny. But once it happens, it soar for a while. Ever since I've been using my hang board, it has decreased.

I can't say that I've ever had that problem. My problem used to be that I would constantly scrape my knees open on the rock. One time I did it bad enough that when my partner ascended the route, he knew exactly where to go because my blood was sort of a guide for him.

Keep on rockin' in a free world!

The inside of my right ankle always gets beat up. Once I rap. down to the bottom of a route it is always freshly bloody. After a hard coupla days of climbing it turns into a big bruise. The funny thing is, I don't feel a thing untill I am on the ground again. Because I don't know how specifically I get the scrapes and bruises, I can't effectively fix my problem. I have tried to use my outside edges on my shoes and it seems to help. OH, I don't have the problem when I climb cracks. It's all about technique and, for me, footwork. Thanks for joining my pity party!

The reason your wrists are popping is probably that either your major muscles have gotten stronger and your stabilizers haven't (can happen when you weight train too much and don't climb enough), or you aren't eating enough vegetables.

a hangboard is definitely helpful for the first cause. if you concentrate on keeping your wrists from popping when you use the different holds, it should strengthen the stabilizers and decrease the popping.

as for the other cause, well maybe a mom can help. green leafy vegetables (and onions, but they make you fart) will lubricate your joints and keep the tendons from popping back and forth.

After I climb for a long time, my shoulder seems to hurt right at the joint. I think it's because I get lazy and just hang sometimes........

My left elbow hurts just behind the joint and to the inside a bit , after and during climb time . I've thought about taking a break till it heals and research what supplements may help the joints , and tendons . Also seen some tips here on stretching .
