Rowing- Swollen fingers and open blisters.

So I’m always prone to getting blisters, and them often popping/bleeding. However my middle finger has now got progressively swollen and struggling to bend it etc?? Lol I’m slightly panicking, anybody have any clue what’s happening and how I can reduce swelling as I am training in the am.

Hiya, I used to get really terrible blisters as well, especially when switching between sweep and sculling. Blister plasters and tape are lifesavers for me. I still get them but my hands are a bit tougher now so less so. From how you described it I’d say it’s probably most likely just swelling, but it could be an infection. I’m not an expert tho so check with your coach/ the gp in case cause if it is infected then u need to get it looked at asap.
