What a time to get injured - 3 weeks before a bouldering trip!
In trying to "get my game on" for Cresciano, I've been experimenting with weighted pullups on campus rungs. Problem was, I added too much weight too fast and at the top of the pullup I was noticing that my a tendon in my left hand was getting "stuck" and uncomfortable before it clicked back into place.
Just over a week ago, I was working a route with a very strenuous pull-and-catch to a shallow 2 finger pocket, and I think it was due to not warming up properly, but my ring finger started badly hurting. I stopped climbing for the day and took a few days off, but it's still giving me grief. The pain's isolated to the finger itself, and climbing doesn't seem to make it that much worse than stretching it. It's painful to the touch, and I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the training shenanigans. Weird thing is that the pain's between the two knuckles closest to my hand, even though the pocket's only first joint...
Any info about what's wrong with my finger, and the best course of action would be very much appreciated UKB.
