For the next few months, I did very little rock climbing, and concentrated my
weight lifting on lower body exercises. I could still do upper body pushing (presses, etc...) exercises, but any sort of pulling movement (pullups, rows, etc...) aggravated my biceps and forearms. In April of this year, I started developing terrible headaches. My doctor was hesitant to accredit these to a sinus infection (I have bad allergies), so first attempted to treat with prednisone.
