i popped one of my fingers recently, the doctor said there is an acute tear in one of the "pulley" systems (flexor pulley tendon i think). any suggestions on rehab, anyway i'd still be climbin (lighter load though).

Hey, in a recent issue of climbing magazine, they had an article on your very predicament. Tape behind and in front of the tendon in question. Then, tape that finger to another, healthy finger, this will lessen the amount of use of the injured finger. Second, and unfortunately, you will definately need to take some time off. I know it sucks. Heed the advice about icing and anti-inflammatories. One thing, though, most anti-inflammatories are also pain relievers -- don't be fooled! Just because it doesn't hurt, doesn't mean you aren't damaging it further. Take a month or two off instead of the rest of your life. Peace!
