Last night, I got hit in practice REALLY hard, during a sprint set. The woman who hit me said she was sure she hit the lane line because it was such a smack. Fun!
Anyway, after much swelling, ice, and pain, it turns out I have a Volar Plate Avulsion fracture of my right ring finger. (Fun when you are both right-handed AND drive a stick shift.)
The doc. said 6 weeks no swimming, but clearly, that's too long for me. I start IT next week.
Anyone dealt with this? Did you go to practice and just kick? How long out of the water?
Who thought swimming was a contact sport?!?!
Ugh! Sounds awful! The interesting thing they told me is not to splint it, except at night, because that would ultimately decrease my range of motion. Buddy Tape, a splint at night, and that's it for now, until the OT starts in a little over a week.
Luckily, they said I don't have rotation issues. Just a straight up fracture--so far.
Thanks for the feedback. I certainly don't want years of trouble!
