Hate to post another finger injury topic but I'm starting to get a bit worried..
Middle of September I felt a pretty nasty crunching feeling in my index finger. I was crimping but didn't slip or shock load it I was pretty still at the time. At first I thought it was an A2 injury. So did the normal couple of weeks rest then climbing lightly but only occasionally (MUCH less than normal) for about a month then stopped climbing and mostly rode my MTB instead. (I know leaving these can be bad so I suspect I've done it no favours there)
The whole time it has ached every day, not a lot but a constant dull ache, enough for me to be very aware of it . I've started trying to climb more regularly (twice a week) hoping it might have improved it, it aches slightly more during + after climbing but not too badly. Hurts more if it is cold..
Pressing into the base doesn't hurt, I can even crimp without upsetting it although I've been avoiding it.
I have tweaked the same finger a couple of years ago when I did shock load it, but it has been completely back to normal for well over a year just with a bit of a lump inside. This felt fine day to day but hurt when crimping which is pretty normal for A2 tweak.
I am planning to carry on with the light climbing till end of Jan then head to the doctors if it hasn't shown any sign of improving..
Anyone had a similar constant pain?
