Managed to something odd to my left ring finger last week...
It appears it may have bent back too far from the joint nearest the hand, this manifests as a moderately painful joint and what feels like a warm tendon pain across my palm under odd circumstances. If I hold the finger out straight then apply gentle pressure backwards (I am thinking about a press type move may have caused this) there is moderate pain in the joint. Other fingers are fine. I can open hand fine and crimp OK. For example I did 1 set of Frenchies on the poor slopers on my metolius board last night without pain.
I am wondering if in the process of bending back the joint opened up as it is still sore - no idea really???? If I gently squeeze the joint sides it is tender and if I try to make a tight fist the same happens. The oddity about the mild tendon like pain is it only apears if when sitting down in my office chair the rounded seat handle pushes into my palm - its not excruciating just makes itself felt. I have stopped using the wall (feckin tweaky plastic) until it heals
and am going
very gently on the fingerboard - sloper work and jugs only, building very slowly to doing full routines again.
Anyone else suffered anything similar?? Any advice on cause, recovery and avoiding this again?? Apart from stop climbing like a tool
Cheers, H
