finger injury 11-May-2004 At 2:24:36 PM Damietta

Damo here,

I injured my index finger (left hand) about three weeks ago when I was pulling a two finger pocket. At the point of injury I heard a clicking sound and felt a pretty powerful twinge. The digit was instantly very sore and swollen at the very base.

I went to see the physio and he gave me a finger brace and told me to come back in a week when it stopped hurting and we would begin rehabilitation exercises. He seemed to think it was a pulley tendon injury.

As I said three weeks have passed and the thing is still sore. I iced it pretty diligently for the first few days.

What I am keen to know, if anyone has had a similar experience, how long do these things usually take to heal? Do you think I have pulled, snapped or torn the tendon?

Cheers D
