Tips for smashed finger

KandORacing Sunday, 4/20/2014

Dumb question.....

I smashed my middle finger the garage door somehow just now. I'm not sure if I smashed it on the tip or more towards the center, but the finger nail is getting a little black underneath and the finger is starting to throb. My question is, does anyone here know a way to relieve the pain besides putting ice on it?

Thanks

Elevate the hand above your heart/head. Can you move the tip/make a fist (if you cant it might be broken!) ...

otherwise suck it up and go punch the garage door with your other hand!

On many of my other forums - we always ask for pics of the injury or it didn't happen.

Got any pics?

I can make a fist with it, but it is a little painful. It must not be broken.
Sorry, I don't have any pictures. The cameras batteries are dead, and we don't have any more for it. It's not as bad as mom's was a few weeks ago when she did her's in the car door!

as a temporary pain relief, press your thumb nail into your pointer finger hard, it will confuse the brain, 1 pain at a time... I do this when I get a newbie wanting to take blood at the dr.'s office...!

Thanks everyone for the help! Luckily it didn't get too bad though, as I think I shut the door on my finger more towards the middle of it on the bone, rather than on the nail. It is still a little swollen, but there isn't much blood underneath the fingernail.
