    Default smashed my finger between

    a barbell and the rack putting the bar down yesterday...
    it swelled up and turned purple and white right away...
    I put a band aid on it and trained today and it hurt but not to much...

    well I just took the band aid off and I popped it?


    there was some type of white stuff not like puss or fluid but...like skin coming out of a little hole in the top of my finger...

    it only hurts if I bang it and it's only mildly swollen...

    should I worry that I popped it open?

    Ok, first, when you popped it, did clean it or did you just bandage it? when it "oozed" did it relieve pressure or did it hurt more? My suggestion to you is that you soak it in warm salt water and clean it with peroxide. you need to make sure that you keep it clean and dry, you will need to baby it for a while. for the record, something like that should be done by a professional, there is a potential for infection and I would hate for you to put your workouts on hold for a bum finger. take care of yourself dear, and watch those barbells, they could jump out at you at anytime

    lol..thanks..I'll try to watch out for the mean barbells and only use the nice ones..lol

    I did clean it and bandage it again but now it's swollen to the point of being hard...

    it's discolored but not like it was...
    it seems to have alot of fluid or blood trapped in it...not cool...right?

    I guess I should talk to a doctor maybe?

    LOL I would not worry at all. You wanna see a bad finger you should see mine. I smashed it so hard last October at work that the bone actually came out and i need 8 stitches to repair the nail bed. I have little splinter of nail growing back and the place where the bone is missing is sensitive as fuck.

    Slegs are worthless people who are lazy as hell and will stab you in the back when they get the chance. For instance on this job I was the "big guy" so my two partners never wanted to do dick so I was stuck using a 60lbs impact gun. A "huge electric wrench" that uses 1,000lbs of torque, but luckly my forman was watching at the time and saw how they were not doing anything all job so they got laid-off after this incident, and i got to make $33 an hour doing jack shit in the tool room watching tv 60hrs a week.
