Tell me to man up

[Deleted]

Last week, I sliced the tip of my finger off slicing veggies. It hurts, and still hurts.

I hit it on the coffee table today when I sneezed and it hurts like a sonnovabitch. Would you be taking a pain pill? I have vicodin but I know H will side eye me.

[bonquiqui]

Ouch that sounds awful, and painful. Did the dr prescribe you a pain pill? If it hurts that bad, and you were prescribed one, then I don't see a problem with it. I personally hate taking meds unless I have to have them, so I probably wouldn't, but that is just me being weird. I am sorry, you are in pain though, that sounds terrible. I would definitely take some advil or something for sure, and wrap it up!

I wouldn't take Vicodin but I would take a good amount of Motrin or something and whine until DH waits on me.

[Mrs.Beagle]

4 ibuprofen, stat.

[eb777888]

Wait. Where did the vicodin come from? If I'm in pain and I have meds, I'd take them. I've actually only taken hydrocodone when I had a tooth pulled. It's the only Rx drug I've been prescribed and of course I took them, I was in fucking pain. I had some left over and I took them for other things down the road. H could side-eye me all he wanted, I wouldn't care (although, I do believe I gave a few to him so there was no side-eyeing going on from him, lol)

You should not take vicodin. In fact, you should send it to me so I can dispose of it safely. It's the right thing to do.

[ralphlauren]

No I would not be taking a vicodin for a cut finger tip. Man up

[dcannie]

take an ibuprofen or other otc. vicodin is overkill for a finger slice, unless it went to the bone or something.

[Deleted]

It sliced the entire finger pad and is about 1/2" deep, almost to the bone. I'd post a picture but believe me, its nasty.

I have vicodin left over from my knee surgery. I took 4 motrin for now, let's see how it goes.

And I'd do wine, but I'm allergic

[MWOS]

Also, I fully support pill taking. Fingers fucking HURT. They're full of nerve endings!

Especially if you slice through the nerves.

[loveday]

Um, ow. I would be seeing a doctor about that. In the meantime, 4x ibuprofen with a glass or milk or small snack. Don't take it without, you'll regret it.

[margotmacomber]

I always err on the side of vicodin when at all possible.

i need a vicodin just to get through this thread.

lol.

Yes. I'd take the damn vicodin.

I went to the ER right after it happened. Luckily I didn't get stitches, so I have a splint and bandage on my index finger.

[Deleted]

I would try Tylenol before the Vicodin. Pain mess make me really sick so I would deal with the pain.

He has been. Even washing my hair and helping me shower so I can feel like a human. I haven't cooked in a few days either awesome.

I sliced my finger and made a week long production of it.

I asked for vicodin and got it.

I still have a stash. The doctor prescribed like 40 vicodin. <3

I almost cut the end of my finger off once and the pain I felt when hey put the numbing shot in the tip will never be forgotten. I've had three kids - finger needle is still #1 on the pain list. tears instantly shot out of my eyes like rockets. no lie.

I was fortunate enough to not get stitches. Too large of an area but I do know what lidocaine feels like going into skin.

[MWOS]

When I had my Bagel Related Injury and needed stitches in my finger, he did a nerve block, which was a shot in the nerve on each side of my finger. After the first side I told him to stitch me up half numb. And my finger hurt for a good 6 weeks.

[Deleted]

MWOS that suuuucks. I've had the numbing shot in my toe to remove an ingrown toenail so I know it sucks. :\

[iamgrace]

I'd take a couple Tylenol. Sounds like a nasty cut.

[Deleted]

I do not suggest slicing cucumbers with those veggie slicers that cut them in perfectly round circles. My finger slipped off the guard and was sliced. Very gross.

[Deleted]

I guess if you have a low pain tolerance and need something and you have it, then take it.

Why are you asking us? Need a poor poodle? You'll be alright, it's just a cut.

[daisyheadmaizie]

Sliced fingers hurt like a mofo. So many nerves. In one of my three finger slicing incidents (I'm a clutz what can I say), I cut through to the point there was muscle hanging out. It was gnarly. I would probably take 4 ibuprofen and solider through, but I tend to avoid taking heavy duty pain killers when possible.

I've seen the pics...it's pretty grotesque and looks super painful.
