It fucking hurts. I slammed my pinky in the door almost 3 months ago. The nail turned black and blue and the finger swelled up. Here’s how it looks now.
I’m about to lose that nail completely. Ouch.

3 months and the nail still didn’t grow back? Ouch.

Been there, done that. Twice.
First time was whacking a bearing race out of a brake drum. Second time was a door. Hurt like Hell both times.
Both nails grew back and you can’t even tell.

Subungal Hematoma.
I got one a few years back when I didn’t have a puller and yanked the damper off of a SBC by hand. Damper came off but hit my fingertip against a crossmember.
I ended up at an urgent care place because it hurt so bad. They burned a hole in the nail to relieve the pressure and in a few weeks the nail fell off. I don’t even remember which finger now.

I slammed my thumb in a moving door once when I was like 6. I got lucky because I think all of that flexible insulation around the door took the brunt of the force. But man, it hurt like a motherfucker.

I did the whole hole thing too. I just heated a needle with a lighter and forced it in. Hurt but the relief was pretty quick. I just catch the nail on everything now and it keeps getting looser.
