Damo, I echo what the others say. Important thing is not to rush the recovery. I tried to climb through a similar tendon injury on my left ring finger in late 90's, by taping, even though the injured finger was very sore. I subsequently damaged my finger so badly that a tendon reconstruction ensued. The orthopaedic surgeon removed some sinew from my left forearm and used that to reconstruct two pully tendons. I remember the operation vividly (local anaesth), and distinctly recall the surgeon telling me that eventually the finger would be super strong! - and it now is, but whole prcoedure was a pain, so take it easy.
