about a week ago, i heard a pop coming from my finger. I immediately knew what had happened, given the slight pain that i had been having in my a-4 pulley over the previous month. anyways, so i stopped climbing and assumed i had a severe pulley injury.
I havnt been using the finger for much of anything except typing. 3 days after the injury, the swelling went down drastically, and i could move the finger much more. now, there is almost no pain in my finger as long as i dont squeeze too hard on anything.
Im wondering if this is evidence of a less serious injury, or if this is normal in a pulley injury?
thanks

No prob. His cool treatments for injuries are worth checking out as well...the idea is that you keep the injured area cool (but not frozen) long enough for the body to trigger more bloodflow to the are (30 minutes i think?). They do something similar with race horses legs.
