I dislocated my finger last Wed @ the Fully Loop and after a week it's still swollen. I still rode last Sat and got on the trainer last night, plus I'll be riding the Loop tonight.

Sometimes you just gotta ride through even though it's uncomfortable. The hardest part is that I changed my tires and I had the hardest time because it's my index finger...no bueno.

physical therapy's going to hurt more, but it's worth the effort- the swelling can be permanent due to a messed up tendon. with PT, you can get the tendon swelling back to normal.

also, don't forget the soma. talk about a "fukitall" pill. a soma and one beer makes you just melt into nothing.
