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?!?!

yeah fingers are no joke. Just be sure you don't get adhesion formation during immobilization. I don't think your break will cause an adhesion but I'd talk with the doc about it. I had a bad break, which required a cast and pins, and my tendons adhered and it took me a good month of PT before I could move my finger again. Its ROM is still not that great.
