Hi. I did a fairly crimpy climb in the gym without feeling any pain other than tired fingers. It was the last climb of the night. When I got home I noticed my finger was a little sore. Five days later it is still sore, but not super painful. Most of the time when it is straight I don't even notice it. The discomfort comes from bending the finger and it hurts when I make a fist. Both the curling in and releasing are painful. It seems as though the pain is emanating from the knuckle upwards. If I make a tight fist my finger cracks. Almost every time. This never used to happen and it doesn't seem to affect the pain. I skipped a climbing session and have been trying to figure out whether I should buddy tape it during the day. It is my index finger. It doesn't hurt enough to make a visit to the doctor necessary. It also doesn't seem to be bruised and it feels the same as the finger on my other hand. Possibly mildly swollen, but it's hard to tell. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
