Oh my! A bit of discomfort there until things are stabilized. I’ve done the fingers three times.

The finger isn't mightier than the sword. That depends on the size and quality of the forces you're leading when you raise the finger.

Oof, that sucks.
I've done some damage to a few of my fingers over the years, some of which don't bend all the way anymore. Hoping you don't lose any use of yours.

I hear picking your nose with broken fingers speeds healing. I saw it on the interwebz, it must be true!
Speedy healing!

Ouch. I've had more than my fair share of crushing injuries over the years. They are by far the most painful.
I would say "get well soon", however the truth is that you will heal just fine, but you're going to have to wait it out....

Take care and I hope the bones heal well and swiftly. Are they setting you up with splints or anything?

thanks for the well wishes finger seems to be holding up ok, worked all day with it, didnt realise how often you bump the tip of your finger lol, fracture is right at tip of the bone basically just under the middle of my fingernail not serious or too painful , waiting for the jokes to start at work since im the safety rep (never gonna hear the end of it )
