Glen Frey was born with metal shaving in his finger tips, pneumonia killed him...

I hope this doesn't penetrate one of your tendons and hopefully not the a2 or a4 pulley but I don't know if it's a flexor or extensor that affected.

If it does then there may be some rehab involved

Yep. Lots of rusty metal around a barn.


Saint, I'd stop digging around. If you haven't found it yet you probably need help.

I'm nothing close to a medical professional but I would pour some hydrogen peroxide on it first (as long as it's not too deep of a cut) then cover it with neosporrin and a band aid and then take 800 milligrams of ibuprofen tonight to help with the inflammation.

Google "flexor tenosynovitis" and if your finger/hand look like or qualify for those symptoms, you need to go to the ER asap.

You do need a tetanus shot if it's been longer than 10 years, however, it sounds like your finger is infected, and a severe infection like flexor tenosynovitis in your dominant hand can be permanently disabling.

I looked this up once after I sliced my foot. Basically found that there where like 8 cases in the USA (300m people) in the last 10years. So sounds like a scam to me. Shots aren't really good for u either in general.

ETA: Actually WHO says 30 per year in a country of 300m

finger is about 50% bigger


Well 50% is half, so it has gotten smaller? Confused by the comment "50% bigger"
