Painful splinter in trigger finger.......

[Dadsguns]

This thing was in my trigger finger for a week and got it out finally by soaking it in some hot water for a couple of hours..... it was just too deep to grab..

I tell you the crybabies these days!

You got your  by a piece of wood the size of your... never-mind.

You do realize that your fingertip has almost as many nerve endings as your "wee-man"?  It's like sticking "it" in a microwave oven!

I once had a splinter from a 2x4 go in the skin of my arm, then out, then in, then out again!  Doesn't matter how long the splinter was since the rear of it and the front was no longer in the skin, but it made my arem look like a shish-kabob!

I had one of the big needles from a salamanderly pear (about 1.5 inches long) go all the way into my leg once.  When I say it went all the way into my leg i mean I could no longer see it.  It stayed in there for a few days until it swelled up like a huge zit and shot out like a monster ingrown hair from Hell.

I bent down to pick up a pair of socks I had dropped, way back in high school.  When I snatched them off the ground, a splinter about half an inch long or so went underneath my fingernail of my left hand ring finger.  It came out the back about a milimeter down from the nail bed.  That may well be the most painful thing I've ever experienced.  When they talk on tv or movies about shoving bamboo shoots underneath your fingernails, I know exactly how that feels. 

When I finally stopped jumping up and down and cussing enough to grab it with some tweezers and try to pull it out, it broke off about halfway down underneath my nail.  It was a terrible week until that thing came out I tell ya.

Woke up yesterday morning and the dog had come in from going to the bathroom. She had a little something extra with her.



She didn't whine, wimper or flinch once. Not even when the vet removed it.



Harden up a little fellas. This is a little beagle we're talking about.

My dad got some kind of tiny splinter under his index fingers nail at work somehow in December, he didn't really notice it when it happen but 2 weeks later he was in agonizing pain and the tip of his finger was starting to discolor, when he went to the doctor & they told him a fungal infection had taken hold and the discoloration was the tip of the finger dying, so they had to cut off the tip and part of the bone.  I've never seen my father in that much pain before, so make sure your careful with that & that an infection doesn't take hold.

I hope she's ok Melvin.  I hate to see an injured dog.

Thanks madda.

The vet just removed it, cleaned the wound and put her on antibiotics.

Surprisingly, she's shown no ill effects from it. This morning when I put her out for the morning constitutional, she took off after a rabbit. She's laying on my lay-z-boy right now, snoring away. Just gonna have to keep an eye on the wound for infection.
