Yes, another finger injury question

Hey All,

I've had a recurring injury for close to 9 months. I was pulling hard on an undercling on a roof, cut feet and managed to hang on, felt shooting pain right away. I first thought it was a pulley, but am now doubting this is the case. It's on my middle finger, just above the middle knuckle on the pad side. If I put direct pressure on the spot, it's a sharp pain. Crimps are fine, but slopers are what usually really aggravate it. Thinking it may be a fracture? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say that you should probobly get it checked out. If it heals in the wrong way it could stiffen up and become a real problem. But at least, take it easy climbing and maybe put a splint on it.
