Numbness in arms Your numbness in arms and hands is likely a function of an active climbing schedule. Might be a symptom of a pinched nerve in the back or in the arm. While many climbers experience this, it might be an early sign of carpal tunnel syndrome, which disproportionally affects climbing communities.
Sleeping problems You seem to be suffering from some difficulty sleeping, which is likely related to stress and results in elevated cortisol levels. Lack of sleep and high cortisol levels could be having a negative, bidirectional effect on each other.
Disregard of medical advice Medical professionals often fail to explain why certain treatments are useful and it's not rare that this creates a lack of trust. Never the less, it might be a good idea to understand if this behavior represents part of a pattern and occurs in other areas of life.
Capsular Injury You sustained capsular injuries while climbing coinciding with periods of emotional stress. It is likely that you are neglecting form and pushing yourself too hard while under periods of emotional strain/stress. Especially since you admitted using it as a coping mechanism.
Eating disorder The eating disorder seems poorly controlled when under periods of emotional stress. It's difficult to maintain a healthy eating schedule when under high stress.
Stress High stress and a poor emotional state seem to be an underlying, perhaps systemic root issue for most of your complaints.
