There ya go mate.

I may well be wrong, but I think the general concensous is to rest, ice, and then when it starts getting better, ease (VERY) slowly back into it, no crimps or anything.

If it hurts, don't even think about climbing it might get ruptured?

In reply to flatline: The Dave McLeod site has a really good article on it, I would post a link but the site seems to be temporarily buggered. Put your hand in a bucket of cold water, twice a day, until it goes red (not numb) and leave it there for a bit, or use ice.
Good Luck
