Suspected A2 rupture of pinky finger from the weekend - v loud pop. Went to PT today and turns out it's only a grade 2 partial rupture Also spent 15 mins chatting to D-Woods before the appointment which was cool
grade 2 partial rupture
Thanks for all your (frankly worrying) advice! I think for now I'll assume (well, hope) it is basically okay and see how it responds. I don't think there are any major ligament / tendon issues as my hand is fully functional and still seems strong. Pinching type motions hurt but could presumably be due to inflammation? I still have pretty obvious bruising along my thumb. If it doesn't progress (or regressed), I'll then seek a consultation to check for something more exotic.
How many x-rays (angles/views) did you have taken? Have you pain in the anatomical snuffbox?
I'd probably get it checked out further before cracking on with climbing.

The pain is close but not entirely coincident with the snuffbox - basically from the base of the thumb and along to its first joint / knuckle.
First venture into top-rope soloing, did not die!(Well, first venture on actual rock, as opposed to testing my set-up at home while dangling off a beam indoors.)

On Saturday, I was dumb / desperate enough to try a brief Depot session - it was surprisingly painless (my wrist seems to feel okay when "engaged"). But, weird stabbing pains when doing more mundane tasks (opening jars etc.), despite the swelling and bruising abating, reinforced the need for caution.So, instead of going climbing again, Sunday was a 12 mile walk around the Peak (and only getting slightly lost) and then making use of my private health plan to arrange a GP apointment . A video consultation has now secured a referral for an MRI, although it will probably take another week or two for the result. Meantime, I have bought some of the O/S maps I really should have been using already. I am resigned to tramping around moors and bogs rather than climbing for at least another couple of weeks - wet feet are better than risking a long term fucked wrist (although, I will be back at work.... just being a bit more careful than usual). I'm telling myself rambling is good mental RP training - similarly long, tedious, with frequent going backwards, and viewing getting home unharmed as a victory! I'm very grateful for your encourgement to take it easy and to seek more advice.

I've got the app but only have the Ilkley area map downloaded to it (free download with the paper copy). Outside the Ilkley area it's very low res and bugger all use where there's no signal (which has occurred dismayingly often!). When I get the maps I've ordered, I'll be able to download off-line 1:25,000 coverage for everywhere I want to go - might purchase the app subscription too as it's not too pricey.
