tape it.

pull down on holds, not out to tweak tendons.

get well. spring season is upon us.

Crunchy fingers need dipping sauce.

After years of FPS and BUI (boldering under the influence of course)... don't get me started on this kind of shit. My latest is painful ganglion cysts forming at the base of a finger and a thumb. Not painful for most things and certainly not as big as the ganglion on my right middle finger (that I did get an MRI on)... but we'll see how slappin slopers does for these bad boys. I also have a laterally loose last tendon joint.

I just don't pull on shit that hurts, put health over ego, reinforce or whack with a Michener if possible (this can be one in a thrift store if you have lent your copy of infinite jest out like an IDIOT) depending on the condition... and climb healthy so you can still type. B.com4lyfe!!11

Or also work typing. I need to do that for money.

Oh and the gangle on my right hand has impeded growth of the nail and there is a deep trough in the nail that is getting wider and more pronounced. Let me know if you want to see a pic. It's gnarly.

I FLIP YOU THA BIRD!!!1 OH SNAP!!!11

It was actually my left middle finger and the lump on the knuckle isn't growing. The cyst that has fucked up my fingernail growth is actually kina small right now... its more of a fluid sac than a cyst like the peas forming on the base of my left thumb and right ring finger.

Let me know if you need more pics. I'll flip you off again.

oooh that doesn't look so good.

Actually the best feeling of my finger issues. There used to be a bigger bubble above the nail where that trough is that I could press on and 'empty' and it would deflate and then fill back up with whatever fluid that is. Probably beer at this point.

But now its gone and the ganglion isn't really growing so ok. Other shit buggin.

wow. that;s a climbing damaged finger. glad you have some beer to ease the tension.

ECFS. Drop immediately.

And, seriously. Resize your damn pictures. Nobody needs a 1640 pixel wide pic of your booboo

Well I still climb on it... I think the ganglia make it stronger. The one at the base of my thumb hurts a little, but only when I'm fingerblasting YOUR MOM.

I did resize the picture. I assume porch has a decent monitor and I wanted that bird flip to be as big as possible.

So the problem joint little by little gets more sore and crackily. Now the knuckle feels like there's permanent grit and light cracking in the joint that won't go away no matter how much I work it and it always hurts. It doesn't hurt a lot. Just when I crimp or pull back on it with my other hand.

What is wrong with my crackily finger joint? Arthritis? Something else?

Should I just take it off with the circular saw?

sounds like classic Pnfs (Pennsylvania native fragility syndrome) or "penis breath" for short.

you should kill yourself.

Now mah knee swoled up lahk a dang ballooon. WTF BODY. Agin' suxxx.

didn't you blow out your weaksause shoulder years ago from giving ivan handjobs?

No, story mix up as usual.

What really happened was weaksauce Ivan blew my shoulder.

My knee isn't swollen anymore but it is sore as fuck and all I climb is yellow circuits.

This happened to me when I did a one-move mono prob that criz or one of his homies (homo cronies) put up at IP. Never got better. Suck it up buttercup. And take it like a man.

I likely have an inflamed bursa sac or two in my knee. My physio says if I don't let the inflammation subside, then I won't heal. So I stopped climbing yellow circuits and am on core and rock rings at the moment.

It's terrible because the weather has been amazing.

i have a giant inflamed knee, its like the siz4e of a giant ballsac wart. trying to upload a pic.

that's ok. please don't. please don't turn this thing into 4chan. just a quiet, relatively gore-free part of the internet.

sup wit tha knee injuriez mang
