[ARCHIVED THREAD] - PSA- Cutting the end of your finger off hurts -graphic- (Page 1 of 2)

Decided to accidentally chop my finger off with a knife yesterday. Flopped it back over and the ER sewed that bastard back on.

Hoping I still have feeling in it from here on out

I will say the nerve block they did hurt more than anything. Thought I was going to throw up from that one.

Oh there was enough dirt. Super glue wasn’t fixing this one lol

That’s the first thing the old lady said. You didn’t try to glue it this time

I did something similar to that. It'll get better.

About 1989 I managed to slice off the outer half of my left thumb when a window broke. Scraped right along the bone with a great blood spray onto the window frame. Got a towel from inside to apply pressure and went back out to find the missing piece in the flowerbed. I spent 5 minutes looking and finally spotted movement when some big-ass red ants were trying to make off with it. The doc eventually sewed it back on, but when we took the dressing off it was dead and stinky.

Mostly filled back in with scar tissue.

I cut the top 1/3 of my thumb to the bone a few years ago. I probably should have got stitches but didn't. It healed up fine but that top 1/3 was numb for just about a year. I slowly regained feeling and touch, now its just a scar like all the others.

Ouch. Sorry OP

Fingertips (especially) have a lot of nerve ending in there for touch, pressure, heat, cold, etc.

They will slowly grow back into the fingertip but it might feel 'different' for a few years.

Inch per year is a commonly quoted number, but it apparently varies a whole lot
across location, number of neurons involved, and a bunch of other things.

Did you get to enjoy the sensation of feeling the air swirl around your finger before they sewed it up? They told me to through the rest of mine in the trash because it wasn't enough to put back on.

Sure does. Lost the tip of my right index finger between a bicycle chain and sprocket when I was 16. What I'll never forget was watching the little protruding piece of bone go flying when the doc clipped it off with a pair of dykes.

Oof.....

Glad you got to keep it, OP.

I cut my entire little finger on my left hand off, right at the knuckle, only thing holding it on was a tag of skin and a tendon...Cut it off doing dumb shit as a teenager. I eventually regained movement and feeling

Yea,,,
You’re Gonna lose that, ( just the tip)
Bet it hurts today

My wife took me on a hike during a frigid day and when eating lunch, I nearly bit the tip off my finger. I couldn't feel it (at first)

My grandfather cut the middle three finger tips off his left hand on a table saw in his cabinet shop.

He did it early one afternoon and threw them in a cooler on ice. He brought them home that afternoon and asked my grandmother to sew them back on. All but one fused back together. He never had a nail on the birdie finger again and all 3 fingers were the same length. He was the kind of tough son of a gun they don't make now a day.

I did just about the same thing on Sunday with a pair of shears. Not quite as bad and I dont think it needed stitches. Seems to be healing fine.

Glad you got to keep your digit op!

PSA has lost a finger tip.

Last time I did that ( not nearly that severe ) I bled right into the Chili Colorado.
We ate it anyway. Wasn't bad.

Heal up OP, you'll be good as new after a period of pain and then numbness.

Sister did that with scissors.
Fainted right then and there.

Parents taped it up and it healed nicely.

Tipped mine on a table saw a few years ago.

Still numb.

Interestingly enough, I was able to find this picture in my phone by searching for "meat".

I lost the tip of my right index finger to a mandoline 8 years ago. Most of it has grown back, but when it happened, the tip of my finger was a smooth acute angle where the blade sliced through.

Keep your hand elevated when you go to sleep.

Or just fall asleep on the couch and let it dangle, you'll wake up.

I managed to cut off a clean chunk of my thumb with a 10" Victorinox meat cutters knife about 6 months into my apprenticeship. It in fact hurt bad, could not get it to stop bleeding. It was hilarious being in the ER watching people go back for coughs and other stupid shit while I was bleeding all over the carpet.
