Gee's Chris, it sounds like we have the exact same injuries, though I suspect mine is from weights rather than climbing given I haven't been climbing much this year. Doggy left elbow, particularly painful during bicep curls, been that way for the last two weeks, and a more long term (last few months) right shoulder problem, particularly painful during lateral raises, which I've been trying to fix with rotator cuff exercises (from http://www.climbinginjuries.com ) and avoiding laterial raises, upright rows, or anything that involves lifting over the head. I'd be interested in your treatment solutions for both.

Julian any chance of disclosing the elbow strengthening exercises? That sounds a lot better than simply resting. I hate not exercising. My solution for the elbow thus far has been to ignore the pain and continue as normal, but I suspect that might be the wrong approach.
