Possible broken finger

[orriskitten]

Today is just not my day.

Went to pick up my great grandma and dropped her offs at my grandma's and as we were leaving I closed the door on my finger. It is swollen and hurts like a motherfucker. When it is not throbbing, it is either hot or numb. The pain is actually going up my arm.

This sucks.

Ohh noooo! Do you have sports tape or something so you can tape it to your other finger for support? Ice too!

I know your pain very well because I broke my toe on Sunday and have been limping around all week. It sucks!

Sorry about your toe! I broke one of mine the week of a show that I was in. that sucks.

I don't know if I could tape it effectively. Its my middle finger above the top knuckle. My pointer is below it and my ring finger is not much better lol. After the battle of nap #2 ends I might try.

Ohh man! I feel for you, I can't imagine how much that must hurt.

Any drug store should have an inexpensive finger splint. Unless its severely disfigured, a doctor won't do anything for it. That sucks. I'm sorry. I've done it many, many times and feel your pain.

Oh man, I'm so sorry. I can totally relate, though. I closed and locked my finger in my car door a couple years ago. I don't have power locks, and my key has to be in the lock just so, and I couldn't get my brain to get it right. Luckily, my mom had forgotten to lock the passenger door on her way out and finally figured out what was going on. My other fingers were having sympathy pain and it shot up my arm. I hope you're like me and it isn't broken. I just have a scar on my fingerprint now.

(Don't open if you don't like blood.)

Ooof that one looks much worse. The worst of the pain seems to be gone so i'm hoping I just banged myself good and its not broken.

The good news was that it wasn't broken! It hurt super bad, but my finger was intact. Take pain killers. It was the only way I could sleep.
