Ice, Ibuprofen, and you need to continue to use it to keep up the flexibility. Only time will tell. Good luck!

dude! thanks! I don't know what grade of injury I have at this point. Its not that swollen. If just feels fat and aches. It didn't "bowstring". OM'MF'ing'G!! So I'm hoping its a Grade 1 or 2.

From your initial description and the description from the link, your injury sounds like Grade III.

Yep, sounds right to me - when mine went in Hueco you could hear it from 15 feet away. Sounds like stepping on a dry branch, or maybe plastic buckle? No real pain but a sudden a very noticeable loss of strength. I took 6 weeks off altogether, then another 2-3 of very light climbing once a week. Took maybe 16 weeks before I didn't notice it anymore.
