No photos of a mullered mess of a thumb? And he calls himself a boy ;)

Glad he didn't break it in all honesty, been there, done that...

Not nice hope he feels better soon.

Did this before when I was in school, was in a rush and slammed the door of a Merc W124 on my thumb!

FML it hurt so much, was right on my thumb nail which instantly bruised a deep purple.  Was the only time I've ever cried with pain, I was about 11 though.. :P

My dad tried all types of pain killers available to him including morphine iirc (he's a GP), didn't help.  Solution was a paper clip and a jet lighter.

Straighten the paper clip, heat one end with jet lighter till red hot, then puncture the thumb nail to relieve the pressure.  Blood poured out, but I instantly felt better for it.

Next 5 minutes were spent taking off the rest of the thumb nail with a scalpel on the kitchen table and applying a dressing.

I know three guys who have had pain on with fingers, one jumped out of a truck cab caught his ring and ripped his finger off, second one got carried away with a chainsaw and managed to cut the top off three fingers on his left hand and the third lost two fingers in the fly wheel of a V8 Scania. Was there on all occasions not nice.

Hope the lad makes a quick recovery :y

He is still of the age where he enjoys going to school. I just dropped him off and he was happily showing his friends the pictures of his x-rays :D

If you'd done that to me when I were a nipper (or indeed now) I'd be slamming my fingers in anything. Doors, drawers, dropping anvils on my toes to see if I got anything... ;)
