Fractured Fingertip
    #20657827 - 10/04/14 02:50 PM (9 years, 5 months ago)

I am pretty sure i fractured my fingertip when my girlfriend smashed it in a door..

been three days since it happened and it hurts soo bad and i have this black fingernail..

googled what to do to get some relief and learned to burn a hole in my fingernail to release the blood..

well i did that, and it bled, but still hurts like a mofo..

should i hospital it?

Yes, see a doctor. Unless someone else has better advice.

Tough it out if you didn't feel it break, you have some sensation in your finger, and it does not appear infected.

They might.  Probably just stuff you can get over the counter if you have toughed it out for three days already.  Does it really hurt that much?  I mean you have already toughed it out a few days, do you want to look like a pussy or a pain med junkie?

Possibly, though I'd expect codeine at the most. Also, if it starts to hurt worse see a doctor.

well the main reason i want some pain meds is to return to work..i'm def. able to tough it out longer, it does feel a lot better now than before, however, its still rather impossible for me to work in this condition..


i also read if the fingernail is more than 50% black (mines 80-90%) than its likely they'll need to remove my fingernail and suture (stitch) the laceration underneath in order to provide any kind of relief.

i cant even barely graze the finger across anything without yelping in pain

Your fingernail is more than likely gonna fall off. Just keep it clean. You should be good. I'm not sure if burning a hole was a good idea, infection is your worst enemy at this point.

haha i told her she has to do all the chores now and make her break-up weed for me now lol

Smashed my thumb with a lump hammer once, couldn't move it at all for a week or so. The best pain killer you'll get is codeine and that doesn't work too well. My nail went completely black and dropped off after a few days. Just tough it out, the nail should just drop by it's self

is ur girlfriend crazy and did it on purpose or was it an accident?

When I was little there were a few times I got fingers stuck in the corner of car doors, OUCH

One time I fucked up the pinky finger on my right hand and the doctor put it in a splint with my ring finger so it wouldn't grow away from the rest, instead both the pinky and ring grew slightly away from the rest lol

Yeah slamming doors in general is no bueno either way. I think the last time I slammed a door I was like 12.

Have you tried taking any OTC pain meds yet?  What do you do for work?  A finger model?  I am sure you can manage.

really? Burn a hole in your fingernail? Now you have destroyed the tissues needed to grow your fingernail back properly. Unbelievable.

Congrats OP on being to drill the hole in finger nail yourself... That's what I call courage. I doubt I would be able to do that on my own. I truly hope you went deep enough in the right place so you won't have to go through it again. Doctors sometime need to drill 3 holes to hit the right spot.

Did you use a 1/16 drill bit?

Doctor time...
