So. For those of you still following this I buddy strapped my injured index finger for 2 days and continued to climb but on easy problems. A little bit painful at times but careful not to overload it. Now on Day 3 the finger is pain free and free of tape mostly. Resisted flexion is still a bit tender and it feels a little inflamed but no obvious swelling. I’ve ruled out annular pulley tear and collateral ligament as no pain with joint integrity testing or with a static load. However there is a painful ‘arc’ as I flex through 90 degrees at the MCP and proximal PIP so I’m working on tendon damage. This is good as generally a shorter rehab. Good oh
