ok i know your sick of all these injury threads but tough.
damaged my a2 pully a few months ago and have just gone back to climbing after a break. the finger doesnt hurt unless you prod it a lot but the thing is at the base of my finger you can feel a big ridge. its only on this finger. does anyone know what it is. (no its not my hand)

In reply to Carnage: so its normal then? dont suppose you can get rid of it once its there can you?

In reply to Jess C:
Probably not, try massaging it and it may help, next time it happens massage the injured tendon, i found it helped.

In reply to Graham Taylor: massaged it loads when i did it but cheers for advice anyway - just going to be stuck with a lumpy finger for life.

Join the club, am on the second round of buggered tendons, have already done all the A2 pulleys in my hands and some of the others too

In reply to Jess C: Yeah- Its pretty normal after an injury. Its not really a problem unless it feel very tight and hurts, in which case it needs to be removed. A physio will massage it bloody hard to break it down and then ultrasound it to settle it down.
