First of all, I'm profoundly conscious this ain't a doctor's office, but since there's a section for injuries and since I've been to the physio a few times already I need some input on a recent finger injury.
Pretty stupid, I was on top rope in a route that had a big dyno in it, I was afraid because I'm still not 100% comfortable with ropes, being a big boulderer. Ended up saying I was a pussy, trying it and failing miserably, slapping my hand on the lip of the hold.
When I came down I could feel my finger hurting. Not this OUCH OH MY GOD type of pain but something didn't feel right. It felt exactly like when you get a basketball pass and your fingers bend on the wrong side, kind of like a sprain.
It's been a week and it still hurts, I've had two light bouldering session. It is my second finger, the ring finger, and if I don't do anything with it I can't feel anything. It only hurts when I press on the bottom, it only hurts on the bottom of the finger, not on the middle or top section. I have a hard time climbing because it puts pressure on the base of the finger and it hurts.
I didn't feel anything in my forearm or in my wrist, but it's been a week and a half and it hasn't improved really.
Thanks

Well 60 something views and no single input from anyone.
I guess this really is a mistery injury.
Just for the record I took the week off and it's already feeling better. Mild soreness when I press on the base of the finger. I think it might just have been a bruise on the bone or something.

I've been off of climbing for a week and a half now.
The finger does not hurt anymore when I touch it, only slight discomfort.
I noticed that at the base of the finger there is a horizontal line that feels a little bumpy..Maybe its a cyst or a contusion or something..I'm still unsure what I have.
I'll give myself time off and start climbing lightly on monday with tape.

Get an x-ray done. I am having similar issue right now. Nothing is torn or broken, but on the xray it seems that the tendon might have pulled off a tiny bone chip from where it is attached. It hurts very slightly and just feels weird. Going to tape it and see a plastic butcher - just in case.

I'll give it some time..
I started climbing again with no pain at all when I climb.
Only tender after climbing for like 5 minutes when I press on it, its very slight and goes away after a few minutes.

You most likly bruised a pulley, I have done it multiple times, doing that same type of move, dyno slap, it usually takes a long time to heal but there is no significant damage, Don't even bother with a xray unless you think you broke it, tape it and take it easy. You didnt trust the ropes? maybe your rehab shold be mental training!

I just didn't feel comfortable dynoing on a rope. But yeah I should work on that.
And a pulley bruise seems pretty accurate.
When that happened to you would you ice it?
