i feel your pain, i broke my finger about a week ago. It was funny tho coz i trapped it in the door and it didnt hurt ( apparently i squashed my nerves). I was stuck in the door for a bit and when i pulled my finger out the nail was snapped and a lot of my skin was hanging off. Luckily i was at work (a vets) so i got first aid from the vets, then i nearly fainted bcoz i thought i was gonna lose my finger.
I then went to hospitial to find i had chipped the end of bone off, but i didnt need stiches, so mine isnt as bad as yours sounds.
Bone healing takes about 6 weeks btw, and a word of advice, never ever think its healed quite well and take bandages off (even when the hospital says its ok), that just results in a lot of pain when u knock it.
How weird tho that 3 of us have injured our fingers/thumbs. I advise every1 else to beware of doors, drawers and drill presses.
Get better soon tho!!! :thumb:
