It's been almost two years now since I pulled my pinkie/ring finger on the lane line while doing the back crawl. The first doctor I saw three months after it happened said it would heal on it's own. No worries!
Sadly, it has never really completely healed. Over the past month (Gee! Where do I work?), the pain has been increasing to the point that it has been keeping me awake at night. I finally asked my beloved foot doctor to recommend a hand surgeon who I saw this morning.
The good news is that it's only ligament damage. The bad news is it still needs to heal. Helping me to heal is that shot of pain-infusing cortisone I got right between the fingers this morning - in the next forty-eight hours to two weeks we hope. Should that not bring healing, physical therapy is on the docket. Until then, it's just me and my finger buddy . . .
