Two games down into yet another season, and in a somewhat terrifying development it turns out that I'm the best 'keeper in my side.
In throwing myself around after a wayward delivery or return, I've ended up with what I'm assuming is a sprained finger: joints painful to the firm touch, inability to bend them, some swelling and a lovely deep purple complexion. Now, given that I've done this twice already this season, and don't especially want to end up with fingers that look like a packet of chicken twisties by the time I'm 30, does anybody have suggestions for methods of preventing these types of injuries?
I've been wrapping tape laterally around the affected joints, but I'm not sure if it's the best method of a) stabilising the dodgy joints in question or b) preventing it from happening again.
Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
