In reply to Oliver Smaje:
exactly the same issue here too
injured it 8 weeks ago - gets slightly better then gets worse again
Rest it more than you think
Light finger exercises (stress ball etc)
Light climbing but NOT INDOOR - at the moment, i am climbing E2/3 outside (slabs/vertical) but 5's indoor hurt alot
Use ice only if swollen - if not swollen, use regular heat
Takes a long time...
