Gyms seem to do a good job on tendons- thats were i did mine. The first time was a few years ago, and i continued to lightly climb on it without any rest or real treatment. Im just now getting this finger back on track. Just recently i blew the same finger on my other hand, but this time i intesivly researched it and self assesed it and then RICE'd it and Motrin IB'd it immediatly. This one week (not all the time but whenever i could remember-2 times a day) of doing this with gel packs wrapped onto my palm, wrists, and up to the first joint, so that your finger grasps the pack-anyway this made more progress in a week or two than 3 years off and on with my other hand. Heres a site that seems to some up some generally good rehab things that you need to do now if you want to be pulling hard any time soon. oh and one more thing.. what finger was it?, because you could reduce stress or irritation by taping one to another when not climbing. Ok, so hope this helped. http://www.uoregon.edu/~opp/climbing/injuries.htm
