I hurt my finger

I hurt my finger

So the other day I was trying to open my new electric scissor so i could put the batteries in, and the compartment was stuck really tight. So after like 5 minutes of trying I finally gave it a really good strong tug.
Well, my right thumb nail somehow smacked into the bone on the top of my left pinky finger and it hurt like a b%*@#!
So now, two days later, the finger still hurts and is still a little swollen. I put ice on it last night and that helped to get rid of the pain....but this morning it ahces still.
Shoudl I go see a doctor about this? I'm embarrassed to go because then I'd have to explain how i did it and i'll sound like a moron.....but i don't want it to get worse....
any thoughts?

oh no Lori! if you hit it on the bone, maybe its just badly bruised. your finger doesn't have much on it to protect the bone! keep icing it and see what happens....

If it's been a couple of days and it's still swelling I'd see a doctor.

Poor thing.

the thing is that it diesn't hurt too much, unless I type a lot (of course) or press on it really hard. I think I probably just bruised the bone....but it looks so sad all puffy and swollen!
why am i the biggest clutz ever?????

You're not a clutz...

I would keep icing it and take an advil or something...I don't think that seeing a doctor is necessary...but then again, I guess it couldn't hurt.

I would keep putting ice on it. I don't think there's much else you can do. That stinks.
I hope you feel better.
