A few weeks back I picked up a mild a2 strain and didn't think much of it, went easy crimping and it's more or less ok now so i tried some gentle half crimping yesterday. The pulley is ok but there's pain at the back of the PIP joint. I've realised that pain was there from the start but I'd written it off as being referred from the pulley.
What I've got would seem similar to a collateral ligament strain but it principally hurts on the back of the joint right between the bones. I get pain when climbing when the PIP joint on that finger is bent, so basically any time my little finger is on. Also the closest I can get to simulating the pain is by bending the finger and trying to touch high on the palm of my hand.
Any ideas? I'd just bite the bullet and go to the physio but I went about 3 weeks ago with another tweak and cant' face shelling out again.
