Title: Finger Muscle injury?
Post by: bouldermonkey on March 13, 2007, 10:33:43 am
Hey folks,

Long time no see.. been taking a few weeks out due to work being crazzy!  :thumbsdown: :yawn:

Anyways, went bouldering last night with my mate  (as we do every monday) and wound up doing me an injury.

It would appear that ive pulled a muscle or something in my hand.  Its on my left hand, my ring finger.

When i load it with pressure, regardless how little, i get pain in the base of the finger about where the bottom knuckle is but on the palm.

Just wondered if anyone knew what i mean, and if so what whats the best cure.

Thanks.

 :great:

Joe.




On a lighter note - anyone in Yorkshire tune into calendar news tomorrow night 6pm - i'm going to be on talking about my marathon attempt with Cancer Research UK and NHS Stop Smoking people.

Google and search on UKB for "Pulley Injuries", specifically A2.
Rest it.

Ditto! I think from what little knowledge I have its a tendon injury. There's a fair few posts about it on here. It's a rest and ice jobby. Been off climbing for 5weeks and there's still alot of pain if my finger is loaded. or go see a sports physio!
Best of luck pal, hope it gets better quicker than mine!
Peace out!
