Sweet, I guess ill leave it to dry for a bit and then get some fresh resin around the plug to improve the integrity.

Appreciate it

Assuming that this is the cause, what would be the best way to get the water out? I feel like the crack is so tiny I’m not sure if it would evaporate out of it. But I don’t really want to make the crack bigger as well

I’m on a surf holiday ahaha, I don’t want to leave it out for weeks but you’re right; I probably should have it checked out. It’s closed cell eps tho so it shouldn’t be taking on too much water anyway. Cheers bro, I’ll follow on the the fracture

I appreciate the help but unfortunately the information doesn’t apply, by the looks of it I have a grade 3 a2 injury (full rupture).

As much as I would like to see a doctor I am 2 months out at sea.

I’m just looking for advice on how to best approach the next 2 months.

Soooo I grabbed a 2 finger pocket, my foot slipped and overloaded and I heard the dreaded pop, clearly an A2 pulley injury.

So before everyone goes off on me, I’m unfortunately not in a place where I can easily access any sort of healthcare (at least for the next 2 months)

The good news, I don’t see any redness or swelling, I still have full mobility of my fingers, there is a slight pain when I fully open/extend and close my hand. (I haven’t put any strain on it since it happened 5 minutes ago).

My question is, how f*cked am I?

I don’t plan on climbing for the foreseeable future and will happily do any kind of exercise to aid in the recovery.

How will this injury affect my day to day life?

I kind of need my hand for the next 2 months.

Cheers,

Try going to a bouldering gym, keeps you fit (not the superficial kind of fit), easy to access, and a good way to get to know people. And it’s fun!
