I am really hoping that the popping sound I heard at the rock gym as I hung onto a hold with two fingers was not the sound of my A4 pulley snapping. The A4 pulley is what holds your tendon to your finger between the middle knuckle and the last.
I am really hoping that the pop was a perfectly timed joint cracking.
I am really hoping that when the swelling goes down that I find I just tore the pulley without rupturing it completely.
I am unfortunately not so hopeful as to think I might have escaped with no damage. I am afterall typing with one hand (yay highschool + internet!) and ignoring the throbbing coming from my finger through the compression wrap.
I am hoping that something happens between today and tomorrow that convinces me my finger will heal on it's own. I really can't afford the series of doctor's visits necessary to diagnose and grade this particular sport specific injury. Let alone the surgery a full rupture would require.
I hope that in the next 4-6 weeks of rest I don't lose all the progress my last 3 months of training have won me. I hope when all is said and done I can still climb at all with this hand.
It really was a good day until 4:40.
