Smashed thumbnail--is it broken?
6 days ago I smashd my thumbnail in my car door. It right away filled with datrk blood lower than the naikl, swelled a little and hurt like you wouldn't believe. I oculdn't sleep the dark I smahsed it for the pain so I had it drilled. It did get the impression better asfter tha, but it is still quite stiff up to the knuckle and feels resembling there is pressure on it. It also still hurts but not nearly so bad.
Any suggestions on what this might penny-pinching? I'm trying to avoid any unneccesary docytor visits.
Thanks,
Jim
Answer: well you did smash it contained by a door so the pressure and swelling maybe caused by that, also depending on how complicated you might have hit it you coulda just shabby a nerve under the pin and just needs some salutary and yes most likely its gonna fall rotten "the finger nail" if it were broke youd feel a nice heat fuzzy feeling..ive had two boxers fractures and a severed pinky" i know adjectives about the warm fuzzy notion, the dark blood is normal it would hold eventualy soaked back in your skin,,you should be fine unless you cant bend the tip of your finger
This sounds exactly close to what happened to me, but it was beside my toe instead, and I had it smashed into a cement stair step. It turned out, my toe was broken, but the doctor really couldn't do much for it. I a short time ago had to keep it splinted. Your fingernail may plummet off, the skin around the fingernail will start feeling "loose", and it'll take "stretchy". You may want to drain your fingernail, you can do so by heating a paper clip until the tip is red hot, and placing it over the pin, but not putting pressure. It should burn through the nail without hurting, and the blood will consequently drain out. But this isn't recommended unless you're in bad headache, and it'd be safer going to the doctor's.
Anyway, I hope you turn out okay. I would wait a couple of days before going to the doctor's. Just take home sure you keep your finger iced and taped/splinted. Good luck, and hope your finger gets better soon!

it could be broken- dawdle a couple more days and see what happens. If it doesn't get any better, it probably is broken so walk see a doctor. If you don't, your thumb can be abnormal for the rest of your life.Meanwhile, immobilize your thumb with a supporter. Or, try to tape it to hold it from moving. That is the key to healing things.
i hope you find bettter
