After quite an intense, fingery Moonboard sesh yesterday, but not noticing any unusual finger pain, went home only to have a sudden, sharp pain in my right hand ring finger whilst flexing my fingers. It almost felt like something elastic was catching down the middle-finger side of my ring finger and then I heard a popping sound, similar to a knuckle cracking followed by quite sharp, localised pain. The pain was certainly enough to make me wince, so around a 6/10 or 7/10.
Since then it's been pretty sore around the first knuckle/ A2 area and I was wondering if somehow the pulley has torn post-Moonboard session. I heard that in around 70% of pulley ruptures loud popping sounds are heard, but haven't come across any popping noises associated with pulley tears after climbing just from moving fingers around.
Anyone heard of cases like this?
Pain level this morning is around 3/10, so starting to feel much better and I have full movement and no bruising and what looks like minimal swelling. Starting to think it may have more to do with my joint capsule and not the pulley!?!
Also got an appointment with my GP later to see if he can refer me to a specialist, but thought I would check with the UKB community too.
