Crook of the elbow, front to the elbow, 'Font' elbow pain could be conceivably related to any of Brachialis, Biceps tendon or Brachoiradialis. Sausage on here thinks it's mainly related to shoulder issues. Perhaps different things are happening in different people, explaining why one treatment doesn't help everyone.The underlying effects of training load, climbing style, and so on shouldn't be underestimated. Dave Macleod's book is good on this.More in this previous thread amongst several others.
The book will save your life.I climb at Karma all the time! The people there climbing 'hard' with permanently sore elbows could definitely climb harder if they took the time to actually sort their injuries out, trust me. Some of the biggest overtrainers I've seen all seem to climb there! Maybe I'll see you around
Dave k: your solution was adjusting technique etc... But are you still climbing 2 times a week? Or are you able to climb 3/4 times like you were when it started? Good question. Definitely not training as often/as intensively. I have had pretty intensive trips (six days on etc) which previously would have caused a bicep flair up. I have also done 10 bouldering comps this autumn which are brutal sessions and would definitely not have been possible 5 years ago. I imagine if I got on a campus board or started training one armer's again it would flare up rapidly.
kinda made me feel like I was being a big girl about it all

I'm definitely going to take a lot at Dave Macleod's book, everyone speaks very highly of it.

It does have some good first line management ideas too.ukb review here.
What's Eblow anyway, is it the cocaine equivalent of e cigarettes?
