stones will hurt--that was one of the last things I could do well. I broke the tip of my finger a year ago. It should be ok in about a month in a half if you take care of it and let it heal. Mine hurt so bad at first that I couldn't even squat with a regular bar. I got a safety squat bar and used it. Splint was in the way otherwise.

Do like Ronnie Lott did and have the tip cut off, you will actually heal faster from that than waiting for the bone to heal.

what about if you deadlift with straps, can you do that or do you have a hard splint on it? You could always do heavy partial good mornings and reverse hypers to keep your back strong if you can't dead for a while
