The physio told me to keep the finger taped up all the time. I started today trying to just avoid using my index finger, but I keep catching it on things so maybe he has a point. I reckon I can cope with taping up every day for a few weeks, but not too keen on doing it for months on end.
Presumably this controlled hanging on the finger board should be done with cross taping? And presumably you stop taping when the pain stops?
Maybe I just got unlucky.
