qwuack.... (however you spell that)

I thought it was quack.. .

DrBones, are you going to take it easy with the training? Doesn't make sense to aggravate an injury, preventing you from training alltogether.

What kind of range of motion do you have? Type of pain? Flexibility? I know there are some modifications out there that bignate has come up with for me (as well as several others on the boards). I've implemented several "wrist friendly" modifications in my workouts. (I work on a computer A-L-L day long! ) They allow me to contine my training while minimizing further injury.

This injury will in absolutely no way affect my training....
There is slight tension on my hand when my knuckles are fully closed and there is swelling from the mid pinky finger across half of my hand.. I never even noticed the hand until about 30 minutes ago.. lol




Anyways.. i really dont think this will be much of a problem unless i get in a fight... which just doesnt happen..

I don't think it will be any problem at all. Usually when you jam the joints distal interphalangeal joints then you may have what is called mallet finger but I don't think this is the case. You jammed proximal interphalangeal joints as well as your metacarpophalangeal joint and all that has happened is your ligaments and tendons have been stressed. Thus swelling has happened and will subside.
