specialed Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 If you can get beyond the nastiness, it is pretty cool. Still, don't think I could ever work in the medical field, I get queesy at the sight of that shit. But I am considering amputating my finger with my Swiss Army knife.

carolyn Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Thats just gross! Reminds me of when I was a kid in gymnastics. This girl fell off the balance beam and scraped her leg on the edge of some wood. DIdnt even know it until someone said her leg was bleeding. She then proceeded to look at it and pull the skin to see how deep it was, revealing a similar site to that hand. Needless to say I didnt eat spaghetti for a VERY long time following that. Matter of fact, I seem to have lost my appetite for spaghetti yet again. *insert puking greamlin* Maybe its time for you to visit your dad out here in MN, pete. We will get you all liquored up at the club again so you will feel no pain. Hope you heal quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I ve known three people who had that surgery. Two resumed climbing 6 months later. One resumed climbing in about a month. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing his wound gaping open about 400' off the ground. If I have any good advice, it is to say, imobilize thyself.

I don't flinch to see a guy in the movies take on a room full of zombies with a lawnmower, but a nasty medical scene makes me close my eyes everytime.

specialed Posted May 5, 2003 Author Share Posted May 5, 2003 I'm just going to duct tape my whole hand and eat a bunch of painkillers. Then I will be able to send baby!!! I think it might just be a dislocated knuckle and maybe partial anular pulley rupture too. When it occured the knuckle popped and I felt something pull or tear. I don't think its a tendon because its localized in the finger and none of the carpal tunnels in my hand hurt. Its swollen like a mother fucker too. (Don't answer if you're going to charge me for your medical advice though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I popped a tendon pulley one time, I think. I was pulling hard and I heard/felt this loud "pop" in my ring finger. It didn't hurt too much at the time but it hurt like hell later on whenever I would use it. I never went to a sawbones for it and it seems to be better now [note: this is not medical advice telling you to not go to a doctor! If you go to a doctor that actually knows what he/she is doing (crux!) then there is a chance that it could help a whole lot. ]. It took a long time to get better. I had to just climb alpine . I remember the West Ridge of Forbidden was cool except right at the crux(?) below the piton I had to crimp with that finger and since I was on lead I couldn't just let go when I felt the pain. That hurt!. Anyway it basically didn't get better enough to climb until it had been so long that I had forgotten about it (6 months?). Mine doesn't sound like yours though, in terms of that mine never really got very swollen. In terms of resting, a good thing to do is to bandage yourself up real good, like wear a sling or something, so other people will know that you're injured. Though it sounds funny, a big setback in resting elbow tendons or fingers can often happen when you feel like a shit for not holding a door open for some old lady or carrying your mom's suitcase, so you just do it, then feel that unhappy twinge of pain that says, "all that babying you have done for two days has now been erased!". If you put your arm in a sling it reminds yourself not to use it AND it broadcasts to other people that you are rehabbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually hurt this finger before, about 4 years ago, though I bent it backards when I fell off of a rotten log. Its been swollen, week, and sore ever sense. I think last time I was out 2 weeks doing no climbing then another 2 weeks cranking on it even though it hurt like hell. It'll be fine in a week or two just gotta take it easy.

dr._jay Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 well its never a good sign when you hear a pop but its more likely to be pulley rupture than anything else, as it is the most common thing to do. you can tell if it hurts between the joints when you flex but not as much if you hold the tendon in place with your other hand. take lots of ibuprofen to keep down the inflammation, but if it still hurting after that then lemme know, i'll see what i can do.
