Finger injury 23-Sep-2012 At 5:43:59 PM CraigB

A quick question that people here might be able to help me with.

I was in the gym yesterday and hurt the ring finger on my left hand. I had three fingers crimping on a slopey gaston, and as I loaded the hold, I felt something shift in my ring finger.

I couldn't use the finger any more, so I went home and iced it.

There's a little bit of pain in the area around the "thumb side" of both joints, but no pain on the pinkie side.

It doesn't hurt at all at the moment. If I load the finger (a bit like I was hanging off a mono) against my other hand, it still doesn't hurt, but when I release that load, it hurts quite badly for a second or so.

I've tweaked fingers before, but never had something that hurts more when I release a load than when the load is actually there.

Anyone got any ideas?
