Finger lift injury


Guest

Recommended Posts

I am new to the grip board but was finger lifting a 45 lbs. plate with my middle finger of coarse it slipped and a loud snap was heard even over the gym music..

My middle finger completely touched my palm so I torn a ligament in my third knuckle joint closest to my palm..

I did the usual rehab plus acupuncture and continued lifting weights with the finger wrapped in foam...

The body will heal it is a amazing organism..

All the best with your training and recovery..

Thanks. It’s actually looking worse than it is. I lift patients all day long in physical therapy and it’s having no issues at all. Probably a slight tear with bruising.

Heal up well man. I've never lifted weights with just my single finger but I've done other things with just a finger, pretty hard to get hurt too so if you need ideas, PM me lol!

Good Luck -  take it easy for a while - do the rehab you know all about - and you will heal just fine.  I've had a few tears down in my palm for middle and ring fingers holds that failed climbing.  It took a few months to heal completely - don't rush things - you have the time to do this right.

Axle was the only thick bar. Not the only exercise. 😂 You are smacking me with my favorite food, Rindo!

Damn! That looks rough man. Im glad to hear that its not as bad as it looks! Heal up and come back stronger!

and, noted! I will continue to not do 1 finger lifts!

 

edit: and i have to ask... did this happen after another no warmup? As much flak as i just gave you in another thread about not warming up, i actually did the same thing today on a bench max.. i went in cold (knowing better) like a chucklehead.

No, look at my road to 400 axle training log, it was after 4 or 5 sets of axle and in between little big horn lifts. I wouldn’t do anything like this without a warmup. Only grippers.

I'd rather give a max gripper a go cold than try a max bench cold. Yikes! When I was younger it probably wouldn't be a big deal but now, no way.

A slight tear and bruising not that bad just needs time be careful.. 

I don't lift patients anymore, I am an OTA/PTA assistant working in a private clinic as a work hardening supervisor..

Just a suggestion when you recover look into a book called Finger Fitness authors Lorraine C. and Gregory G. Irwin..

I use some exercises to keep my digits healthy..
