@sammyb109 If your fingers are long enough, building up the strength in them will help you palm a basketball. If you have short fingers though, it’s hard to develop enough strength to do that.

@kungfujellybean …
@kungfujellybean You misunderstand. Strength is indeed a good thing as long as the opposing muscle groups are balanced. If you only train the wrist and hand flexors, you create an imbalance that in some cases will start to cause misalignment of the wrists, leading to problems like carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis.
Forgive me, but I …
Forgive me, but I laughed when you said that people get injured because their hands are “too strong”. I’m a heavy grip trainer, and I’m privileged enough to live with two licensed physical therapists. They’re in agreement that as long as my hands receive adequate rest, it’s actually FANTASTIC to train hand/forearm/wrist up to twice a week. Take a look at the guys closing the Captains of Crush # 3, tell me if they look like they’re having problems.

@scopsFB I recommend doing the exercises on the same days as climbing, preferably after climbing, as contracting the extension muscles will help to relax the flexion muscles that can get pretty tight with the sustained contraction in climbing.
General upper body …
General upper body strengthening with some handweights will help. I suggest wrist extensions and curls, bicep curls, tricep extensions, and upper back exercises like bent over rows (you should be able to find descriptions/images of these on Google). I recommend 2 to 3 sets of 20-25 reps per set using weights that are at least mildly challenging at that number of reps. If you don’t have weights, you can get exercise tubing or use canned goods or water bottles for resistance. Good luck!

I’m a rock climber and whenever i get up in the morning i feel pain in my hands. according to what you say i should do the rubber band exercise every other day… but when should i do it? i mean… I also climb every other day, so should I do the rubber exercise on the days when I climb or not? and if yes, before or after the climbing?
is there any other …

You will need some high-tech exercise equipment…
such as this rubber band here.
Thank you for that.

Elastic Bands can be used as a resistance to abduction of the fingers. This is useful to treat dorsal interosseus muscle atrophy in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients.

A sponge ball will work just fine, although if it’s really soft, you may need something with more resistance to get much benefit.

It sounds like you …
It sounds like you may be getting exposed to some sort of toxin when inside your home that is producing a neurological effect. The tricky part is figuring out what it is. If you’ve had any recent work done in your home involving chemicals (paint, insecticides, solvents, etc.), that would be where I’d start looking for possible causes.
It’s also really …
It’s also really strange in the fact that outside, the effects are cleared up drastically, but inside.. especially in my house / room, it becomes nearly unbearable.. the inability to move my hand correctly.. And its also strange that it switches hands sometimes, leaving the other one nearly free to move..
@DrGeorgeBest .. …
.. I’ve felt like this is a much bigger problem than I have had in the past..
@DrGeorgeBest .. For sure… I really hope I can find out what’s really causing this.. I don’t want to be just thrown on medicine
I definitely think …
I definitely think that your symptoms warrant an evaluation by a doctor. It sounds like a nerve problem to me, so your doctor may refer you to a neurologist for further evaluation. Good luck!
