As per the title really, as well as maybe people not to go and see for whatever reason.

In reply to Frank the Husky:
Not sure what the issue is but this guy is highly recommended and fairly close.

In reply to Dave Garnett: Dave, thanks for that. I've sent him an email. Further suggestions welcome.

Basically it's unusual stiffness in ring and middle fingers on both hands for the past 4-5 weeks for a few minutes after waking up, and a strange "clicking" in ring fingers as I extend from 90 deg to full, again for a few minutes after waking. It's not chronic but I want it sorted ASAP and cost is no issue!

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Have you been overdoing it on the wall or beastmaker, by any chance? I get a similar clicky thing on extension in my middle finger since I've upped the training a bit recently.

In reply to Dave Garnett: I never go to the wall and I don't use a Beastmaker but that would be a good explanation otherwise. This has happened since I went on London Wall. I suspect that lots of fingertip jams with no feet have had some effect. I didn't do it cleanly, but that probably goes without saying.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

how far north of Birmingham? I had my carpal tunnel op done by one of the specialists in Livingston St john's hospital. very nice chap.

In reply to graeme jackson: I'm near Buxton, but someone good is worth the effort.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Derby are hand specialists, that's where the royals go... Dont know who though.

In reply to ceri:

Another vote for Derby.

In reply to marsbar: Great. Derby what, though?

In reply to Frank the Husky:

You'll know of this guy? http://www.stevebollen.co.uk/

Although he is a 'knee' man now he did a lot of work back in the day on climber's hands including a research project when he was based in Leeds. A climber too.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Presumably you've tried the obvious stuff, like antiinflammatories?

In reply to Dave Garnett: I haven't because I'm one of those who thinks that inflammation is part of the healing/protection process but I might be wrong. I'm after a pre-emptive consultation to find out what's what.

In reply to Frank the Husky:


It depends if it's happening in a confined space. Like a flexor tendon sheath. Slightly odd that it's so symmetrical though.

In reply to Dave Garnett: I'm open to all knowledgeable advice. I've emailed your man and he can give me a definitive answer and such like. Thanks Dave.

In reply to Frank the Husky:
The NHS hospital there. It changed name I think
