I was repeatedly throwing with my right and landing open handed at the furthest of my reach a few weeks ago which ended up giving me a pain in my ring finger, palm and wrist. It's quite difficult to locate where exactly the most pain comes from now. I can still climb quite hard with only moderate pain but it doesn't seem to be improving much. I'm currently icing it after sessions but apart from that don't really know what to do?Does this sound like a flexor tendon strain? And am I risking a full rupture continuing to climb on it? Any rehabilitation advice or general knowledge on the subject would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,Nick.
Is regular stretching of the ring finger going to be beneficial or aggravate it?
When mine was bad, I buddy taped my pinkie to my ring finger to make sure I didn't drop my pinkie when pulling open handed.
