just popped a finger for the first time last night. i've been icing the heck out of it and i'll be taking the next several weeks off from climbing. checking out glucosamine, etc. my question is in regards to training in the meantime. i've found differing opinions in past threads- from people saying to do nothing with the hand for two months to people advocating tape and starting easy climbing after a week. i'm dreading doing nothing but running for the next month, are pullups generally allowable during time due to a tendon/pully injury? i'm thinking about folding a towel over the pullup bar to pad it a bit and increase the circumference to make it closer to natural anatomical position so i dont have to fold my fingers so much. anyone a sports med doc or hand specialist, etc? i'm not how much training or specific knowledge reno or climbingnurse migh have, but i'll greatly appreciate your thoughts. if i missed a past thread regarding this please point me in the right direction (but there's 30 odd pages of them)
thanks everyone,
andy
