What have i done to my finger?

yesterday while helping my husband put up a chicken wire fence, a piece of the wire stuck into the knuckle of my left index finger. there is no wound just a littie pin prick, but it has left me with pain in the finger and across the back of my hand. such a tiny injury should not create such pain. just opening a bottle of milk this morning was painful.

has any one else had this happen to them, can you tell me what i have done

damaged nerve endings dont worry will repair themselfs but best to get a tetanus shot and injury was caused by metal and was an outside incident.
clean finger with an alcahol swab or warm water with salt
dab dry and lightly cover for a few days

you may have hit a nerve or a tendon in ur hand just give it time it should be ok soon

Sound like you hit a nerve or it is infected. Does it feel warm to the touch and is the area of pain expanding? That could mean infection and you need antibiotics quick - today if you can. That can get serious in a hurry.

the fence was dirty. clean it immeadiatly with alcohol, and go to the er for a antibiotic before you get lock jaw!

its probably infected. I'd go see a doctor.

i think you might have what i had.. i got something stuck in my finger and it hurt sooo much.. unfortunately i was in a foreign country.. lol. i think that it might be an infection.. go to a doctor before it gets too worse!! if you wait long you have to get surgery!

Not sure but thats weird cuz yesterday at school we were playing tag and i put my hand on the slide when i was sitting down and someone stepped on my pinkie and its still hurting from 12:40 yesterday =(

How recent was your last tetanus shot? Sounds like you hit a nerve or have bruising deep in the knuckle. Try heat. If it gets worse, see a doctor. Sometimes the smallest poke can cause more problems than you would think.

I HAVE NOOO IDEA!

i think you should go check this out with a doctor.
this has never happened to me, but i remember this happening to this one girl. Her mom was trying to cut her hair. However, the girl was frightened to cut her hair. So, the mom chased her around until the girl got hurt. According to her mom, part of the scissor disappeared. Later, they went to the doctor, they did an X-ray, and found the missing part of the scissor. It turned out that it went through the girl's leg. I'm guessing the piece of wire is inside your skin. So yea... you should check it out.
