MCP finger ligament strain 5-Oct-2005 At 10:44:31 PM Rich

OKies the update for those that are interested..
Its been about 5 weeks now and I'm back climbing as of yesterday and tonight. Finger's causing no problems climbing and is not sore to touch but is soreish to move to the left towards ring finger as apparently there is a cyst that has developed there. Here's the techo low-down from Julian:
****
A small cyst formation in the tendon of the dorsal interosseus muscle controlling abduction of the middle finger (movement toward the little finger). This would have arisen from a slight tear or strain in that tendon at the time of injury.
****

So there u go.. hopefully it goes away by itself but if not I may have to look at having it removed drained or something. Haven't researched it properly yet.
Anyway back climbing thats the main thing!! :) And yes M8 my tips have had a chance to regrow! :)
See you on the rock..
