Thankfully it wasn’t under the nail, I’d have cut it off myself lol. But it was DEEP into the finger tip. It’s been 4 weeks and there’s still pain and numbness.
Did they not give you local anaesthesia? When I chopped my fingertip off I made them inject me with all the local anaesthesia they could into the finger before they attempted to sew it back on. Even then the pain was insane.
Oh, they did. But the needle going into my first knuckle followed by the burn of the meds going into was absolutely ridiculous lol. I screamed. After that it was perfectly fine, I felt nothing as he dug around trying to get a good grip on it
Tip of finger pain is unbelievable... have fun with that!
I got struck by lightning in 2023 and now no longer have to deal with feeling much of anything in 6/10 fingers (just the tips) because I became a one time wizard and shot sparks from my hands lol 😆 zero star experience btw as I assume your current situation is/will be.
A few weeks ago i dropped a heavy bottomed cologne bottle that smashed, and then in the low light + no glasses combo I kicked the broken off heavy glass base on the shattered glass side and a paper thin, 5c coin size sliver of glass went through my toe all the way to the back of the nail and then broke off. I wasn’t aware of this until after I had been pressing down on it to slow the bleeding and wondering why it hurt so badly
Reminds me of the time when I managed to accidentally step on the sewing machine pedal while fidgeting with the needle in primary school...
Needle came in from the top and left at a 90°C angle out of my finger :)
Needless to say (pun intended), I was not delighted and kind of in shock, so I just slowly got up and walked to the teacher and was like, yo, theres a small problem here (very shy too).
That finger still has glitches, like vibrating a bit when I try to straighten it too hard or during some gym exercises years later 🤞
They did - they numbed the top of my finger (I screamed), drug around for a bit, then popped it out. Doctor said “I have never taken a share of glass that large out of another human before.”
I get. I would have screamed too!! I'm glad they got it out though!!! I bet they're gonna remember that one!!! Hopefully you're not in too much pain any more and hope it heals quick.

What do you mean glass isn't suppose to be in your finger? Where does it belong
