I can imagine worse pain but faster healing process. Smashing the finger completely could result in loss of nail or fractured bone. But yeah it sucks that fingertips have so many more nerves.
Edit maybe your right worse pain faste healing I didn’t read that because I’m drunk
Nah not to be rude or anything but you’re wrong, I’ve smashed fingers and toes plenty with hammers or dropping heavy doors and beams.
Tearing such a huge chunk of skin is like 1000x worse. I have a black toenail rn and it slowed me down like 1 min. This kind of tear is end of the day.
Rather lose a nail
Gonna be tempting to bite that shit off later so you don't have a flap.
Or is it just me?
first couple minutes was me tugging and poking at the flap trying to decide if it would be more painful to tear off now or later. Shoulda tore it then but I bitched out and bandaged the flap. Will let it dry tomorrow and cut it with nail clippers.
Damn that looks rough, hope it heals fast so you can get back to work
Ty. Prolly be a week to heal but I’ll be back at work tomorrow.
