Judging from the number of hits I’m seeing on my previous finger injury posts, it looks like this is a popular topic. Unfortunately, this likely mirrors how common finger injuries are with climbers. I recently found a site dedicated just to climbing injuries of the shoulders, elbows, and fingers called ClimbingInjuries.com. An informative site, what’s unique is that there’s no fluff. Climbing injuries and that’s all. Check the site out, especially if you’re not suffering from any ailments. Prevention is definitely the key.

A great site I found for sports injury research is http://www.physsportsmed.com
It doesn’t have too much about fingers, but for general diagnosis it’s hard to beat.
was climbing and all of a sudden my let middle finger and ring finger hurt really bad, cannot straighten or bend those fingers. My for arm hurts when I try to bend them. Is this a flexor tendon tear?
