In the same boat
I just got my mallet finger on saturday. I've got a plastic finger armor thing that goes top and bottom, you'll see one if you google mallet finger. I just lifted for the first time today with it on. Pressing is fine, squats are fine, pulls are a bit tricky. Not lifting is not an option, so it's just a matter of how to work around it. I'm going to buy some straps today to see if that helps. I have to give up cleans, pullups and chinups aren't looking too good, but i'm hoping deadlifts and rows can be done with straps. The main issue is than my finger starts to slip out of the splint and bend a bit at the tip. It's not too bad if I reset my grip every rep. I'm only doing sets of 5 reps, so it's not too much of a problem to do this. Typing sucks. I'd like to hear from someone who has dealt with this longer than me. Like I said, not lifting is not an option, so it's just a matter of figuring out how to deal with it.
