If it's broken, no training. If it's just bruised, yes training.

i trained with a bon chip and sprained fingures. its all about how you train taping the joint and listening to your body if it hurts to much or the pain changes or the joint wont do the job your body is telling you to stop. play it by what your body says and ice it after every training session.

i say turn up and see how it goes. you can use it as an excuse if you get tapped.

If it's not broken this is the answer. Tape the bottom and middle sections. Do not tape the joints. Don't tape it too tight, SLIGHTLY loose is good. Keep taped for 8 months. Really keep it taped an extra week or 2 after you think it's healed. This is the easiest thing to reinjure.
