I just got done with my first extended practice session. (About 35 minutes, for comparison, most of my causal sessions are 10min tops) and as i was walking back to my car I noticed the middle finger on my left hand had swollen up. I throw with my right hand so I’m curious about why an injury showed up on my left. I currently have the swollen finger wrapped up in ice, while im nursing this, I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered this before and knows what may have caused it. ---

Perhaps irritation from string rub? ---

I don’t think that’s it…like I said I don’t throw with my left hand, the only thing i ever do with that hand is hold the yoyo when Im rewinding it when i mess a trick up… ---

So it’s not the finger you catch trapezes and stuff on? What kind of tricks are you working on? ---

Im still a complete beginner, mostly I’m doing standard sleepers, forward tosses, and the occasional around the world, I haven’t started doing picture tricks or binds, as I want to be certain i have fundamentals mastered first… ---

Did you bump the hand at all with the yoyo? ---

A few times maybe? I was never in pain at any point, but I suppose that could be the reason. ---

Well I’m sure with a little rest and maybe some Tylenol or ibuprofen you’ll be all set!
