CRUSHED FINGERS IN GARAGE DOOR

[BOK2Bjan]

hi all - cant type well so bear w/ me.  sunday when closing new gar. door, pulled on space between door sections - pulled down - door closed on 3 mid. fingers of rt hd.  pain was so bad didnt know what to do.  managed to lift door off and was screaming 4 half hour at least.  daughter  ran to help - i was at bath sink w/ hand under cold running h2o screaming.  poor thing didnt know what to do.  she finnally found my liquid morphine, which finally helped enough so i could inject fingers w/ marcaine.

didnt go to er but may tonight when andi - daughter- gets home.  im in tears from being so overwhelmed w/ pain ywt inability to cope w/ all i need to do. cant type all the issues - 2 many but dont know if they ever cast for broken fingers.  in the past i havent, but this is so bad.  injecting swollen black fingers is not easy.  takes a long time cause have to go so slow.

any input?  or support?  jan

Oh Jan,

I'm sorry I wasn't here when you needed someone to listen. I hope you are feeling better. I get so angry at myself when I do something foolish that hurts me. I've shut my finger in a car door. Of course it was fractured!!!

I hope you consulted with your PCP. You may just have a nasty bruise but you want to make sure you didn't fracture anything or damage a tendon or a ligament.  

Let us know how you are doing. I am so sorry you have a new painful area.
