    I've torn most all the ligaments in a finger. It took quite a while
    to feel normal again, and it still contains a lump next to knuckles
    where they got bunched up after being ripped up. The hardest
    part for me was to remember to not slam my other hand into that
    knuckle trying to pop my fingers, but it was the middle joint of the
    finger. It was a few months of pretty harsh pain, but eventually
    it went back to full flexibility and functionality.

    I had it on my pinkie. Couldn't roll for about 2 months. Kept it straight for the whole time. It's pretty straight now. But I am no longer able to completely curl the finger all the way.

    Got it a few years back in a no gi roll. Cost me agood 2 months rolling too. They gave me a shitty splint at first but i found a "stack splint" at an old school pharmacy that was designed specifically for mallet finger. If you dont have one yet you can find online for like $5. Had to wear it for 6 weeks and it completely healed with no issues. The splint holds it straight so the ligament that extends the finger can re-attach with scar tissue. If you allow the finger to bend during the healing period you could be back to square one...or worse...so dont let that happen. Good luck.

    it happened during no gi, guy pulled an aggressive guard on me I put my hand out to break the fall and it happened then? it didn't hurt at all, it was only when I put my hands on his hips to open the guard I knew something was wrong.
