My First Finger Injury And Recovery Guide (70 Days Post-Pulley Rupture)

A video I hoped I'd never have to make! In the beginning of February I was working on a hard project of mine and felt a pop in my left hand while pulling on. Here is everything I experienced and learned over the past several weeks that I hope might help others experiencing a similar injury. I tried to include as much detail of my experience as possible so please feel free to skip around to whatever parts are interesting to you and if you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out to me on Instagram!! For AZ folks: I recommend reaching out to Dr. John for any injuries as he is now helping me.   / crimpyslopers   Pulley Pal Splint: https://amzn.to/49EL29m (may not fit larger hands, measure first) Penguin Finger Ice Packs: https://amzn.to/3xGwSr9 Therapy Putty: https://amzn.to/4cVG0s2 Favorite Tape: https://amzn.to/3xFwyJd Crimpd App Hangboard Protocol:    • 10 Minute Daily Hangboard Routine (FOLLOW ...   Hannah Morris Injury and Hangboard Protocol:    • I Hangboarded TWO TIMES A DAY For 90 Days   Best Ultrasound Breakdown:    • Climbing Finger Injury - A2 Pulley Injury ...   BEST OVERALL RESOURCE: https://www.hoopersbeta.com/library/a...
