hey ya'll. so yesterday i was climbing in a gym and i went up for a hold and caught it with the pinky and ring finger of my right hand, then fell. it felt a little off for about 10 minutes then it was fine so i climbed for another 2 hours.

i woke up this morning and it's pretty sore, it's a "stiff" pain, if that makes sense - mainly focused around the joints where my pinky/ring/middle fingers meet my hand. it only hurts when i close my hand.

thoughts? i iced it and will take it easy, but any other recommendations?

A2 pulley? Maybe a strain? I had one pop on me once, not pleasant. I would go see an ortho and see what they suggest.

Rest? See a doctor? Crazy, I know.
