Probably the worst pain i've ever experienced...

Was working on the car, i had my hand on the spokes of the rim, reached for a tool and slipped and held on to the rim and it spun and smashed my finger between the brake caliper and spoke. I smashed my toe last year from a falling dumbbell...that was painful, this was worse..


i know i got dirt in my nails, but that's normal when u work on cars...












Edit 02/03/09 - X-rays show the tip of the bone shattered

I thought this was going to be another "Bimmerpost down for a day" thread.

In any event, that looks really bad, hope it heals quickly!

did you relieve the pressure by letting the blood out?? i smashed my thumb in the door 2 years ago and heated a paper clip up till it was glowing orange and made a hole in the middle of my nail and all the pressure was released and it felt much better.

Ice it down. For sure you will lose it. That's blood under the nail. Hopefully it dries up fast so you won't feel the pain. I'm thinking 2-4 months before a new nail fully grows.

I had this happened to my toe nail, didn't as hurt as much when not touched.

Yup this nail is gone, take it to your doctor. That happened to my toe once, and I lost the nail.
I feel your pain.

Those guys above said it feels better after you poke a hole. In fact, that's generally a rule of thumb. I always feel better after I poke a hole.
