Question how important is it to let the swelling go down fully before commencing rehab?
Motto of the story- it's never worth pulling on monos, unless you're a Frankenjura local. Not worth the risk especially if you're a fatty. Hope it heals up soon
A reasonable thing during climbing would be to strap the finger with that X shape, and make sure you don't cause further pain while training i.e. using holds that don't hurt.

BoredBoy, thats four, possibly five suggested diagnoses. Glad we are clear. Alex, why not just train harder on it, perhaps that will work...
climb on grit.
It's desperate to make yourself stop when you're psyched.
Very generally, pain, particularly pain whilst climbing, is not a particularly good indicator of the severity of pathology for various reasons. There is a 75% complete post-going-on-essay sitting waiting to be completed

Got one of these the other day too which makes icing it easier http://www.bananafingers.co.uk/torex-coldhot-finger-sleeve-p-1973.html
