Did'nt realy hurt to start with, was'nt till 45 mins later after it had been x-rayed that the pain kicked in. looked worse 5 mins after those pics were taken, as it was swelling up and all the pulp from my finger was getting pushed out.

Best way to describe it is, squeaze a raw sausage and watch the meat cum out............ exactly the same when you do it to a finger :shock:

The surgen and nurses all said i'd f**ked it good and proper, was no half measure!!!

That looks horrible mate, hope theres no lasting damage there. Thats another reason why i prefer using the socket/bolt/nut method.

Bad luck mate. Your finger's so manky I can't see what's happened! What have you done, chopped off the the flesh from the tip of your finger? I've never seen a slide hammer, how did it do the damage?
