Hi Kez saw your posting about the wrist pain if it is as some are suggesting and is RSI ( that includes tendonitis, carpal tunnel ect) then I suggest you get it cjhecked out asap. I hurt my wrist 20 years ago at work started of with similar pains, I was vey nieve and continued working and doing things that aggravated it and I endeded up with it in my thumb area, wrist, elbow shoulder and then because my right hand was so bad I over compensated with my left with the same results and 20 years later I still have problems although not as bad. The only thing that would have prevented or helped it was complete rest from those activites in the begining. It doesnt have to stop you forever but the quicker you deal with it the better chance of recovery. I was left with permanent restrictions with my injury. But Then I didnt take up climbing until 10 years after the injury, I cant do a lot but I can do some, just have to pace myself nhot bad for someone who was told I would never work or do anything physical again. I also took up caving as my main sport/hobby because in my case it didnt put all the pressure and strain on my arms. Anyway good luck with it. But Rest It For Now
