Hey chaps,
So about 5 weeks ago i wasn't properly warmed up, tried a weird problem and felt something move in my ring finger. I stopped climbing (after about half an hour of continued climbing denying i was injured) and have cut down on training. I had a week off the week before last and that improved it a little bit, but after a week of climbing in spain its hurting just as much as it was before.
But since then when i grip anything other than open handed i get a sharp pain on the top of my finger on a small bit of the middle section. Its not sore at all when i push in around here, but it is still quite sore at the base of my ring finger if i push there - weirdly though i don't feel any pain here when im climbing. Also sometimes a little bit of the tendon in my hand from that finger is a teensy bit sore if i push it around too much.
Should i just rest until it doesn't hurt anymore? And does anyone have any idea as to what i might have actually done to myself? Is icing any good now the injury is quite old?
Sorry for the long post, im just trying not to go crazy here.
Omar
