I'm 21, no previous injuries on this finger (or any finger since like 6 years ago), just started climbing again 2 months ago after not climbing for a while. Mostly bouldering.
First presented with mild pain between thumb side and palm side of left index finger, mostly just when pressure applied. Continued to climb on it (apparently a horrible idea...) for ~1.5 weeks, about 4-5 times in the gym. Only really hurt while climbing the last time I climbed, which was on Friday(2 days ago).
Finger was fine yesterday, maybe some mild swelling, but that might have been imagination, no real pain. Took 2 ibuprofen between 4pm and 8pm, went to bed around 2am.
Woke up some time in the middle of the night and when I extended my index finger it caught when the knuckle closest to my palm was at about 90 degrees, then opened fully. Then I felt extremely nauseated, light headed and started having cold sweats (I often feel nausea rather than severe pain, but it was pretty fucking awful).
Anyway, now I can't bend my index finger even to 90 degrees anymore without feeling sick, and it aches when I extend the finger to straight. I'm planning to go see the sports medicine clinic at UGA ASAP, where hopefully they can refer me to someone if necessary.
Any help with diagnosis/treatment is appeciated! Currently I am just resting the finger and keeping it mildly elevated.
