Oh god. I don't even know how that happened but I cringed.

[Justinx931]

I too, am confused on how would that happen, It was not that sharp and a fast run to a door could not penerate the skin that bad. its like that was a heavy door and it closed fast on you.

God, i don't even want to know how bad that feels.
Get well soon.

[Big Dumb American]

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Nerve damage.

Really though.. I still can't wrap my head around how you managed this.

[Zoran]

The thread title was pretty clear about what happened. He was fucking the door handle, and he fell on top of it.

I had the same thing happen when my lung collapsed about a year ago. The doctor had just put the chest tube in and I had to get up for x-rays. The male nurse was very impatient about me taking forever to get up and not moving my arm more then a few degrees due to the pain I was in.

i would be a dick too if i somehow ended up as a male nurse

[soccerskyman]

Hngg Oh god that looks painful.

Holy fuck dude.


You never asked for that.

[sam6420]

How sharp is that door handle?! Aren't they usually blunt? Holy shit!

[Jallen]

Holy shit that is in your arm deep, will you make a full recovery? Can you recover from that nerve damage, and will your bicep be completely functional?

This reminds me of when I was with my friends in the woods when I was younger. There was a fallen tree we were messing around on and I was running from the top of the tree down to the roots. I went to run through a bunch of leaves, little did I know there was a snapped off branch pointing straight at me. I ran straight into it and it left a 4 inch long gash across my chest while clothes lineing me onto my back. Fortunately I didn't break any ribs.

They said that my bicep will be fully functional and actually somewhat stronger because of the rebuilding of the muscle fibers, but the nerve damage may be permanent.

It is extremely blunt and I have no idea how it went into my arm. I think my arm tried to fit in between the handle and the door when it got snagged. Then the force of it snapping me back made it penetrate. Honestly, I have no idea.

Unless we're talking about hyperthermic shock that's not how it works.

[Godline]

you going to put the door handle back on the door?

I just used that as a term to generalize "passing out"

HELL NO

[sami-pso]

Wow the nerve damage is really tough luck. Must hurt 10 times worse than when it didn't hit the nerve too.

[The_J_Hat]

Wait, I'm still curious as to how the hell did that get lodged in your arm?

[Fingers!!!]

Dude can you move your fingers and stuff?
My worst nightmare is being unable to do any kind of small hobby, like painting, computers, and so on.
Also I like my fingers. I guess you can already tell.
Get well!

[goblineat4]

Fingers!!! posted:

I can move my fingers just fine, but when I touch something with my pinkie or ring finger on my left hand, it tingles sort of like pins and needles. I have about 25% feeling in those 2 fingers.

I'm going to the doctor today, so I'll post a picture of the wound.

[sami-pso]

Sounds like your feeling might return to you, but probably not 100%.
I have nerve damage by burning and it seems like it's still getting better although very slowly.

You should ask your doctor how much of your feeling will return.

[joe588]

what the fuck, that looks fucking intense

I asked him and he said that they have no idea how much will return.

It was fentanyl. I remember from the name.

My dad ran into a (blunt) door handle too when he was young.
It impaled his shoulder.

At least you don't have it bad as this cat

Door handles

NOT EVEN ONCE.

[Buck.]

What is this. I dont even...

I mean a door handle, you couldn't penetrate something if you tried!

Hope you get better soon, and the numb finger might turn out to be a blessing.

[Sixer]

I actually had to come back to this thread to inspect that wound again. The first time I looked at it I guess it didn't really strike me what the issue was (I'm not very observant lol).

Holy shit mate, that's terrible. I've broken bones before, but I've never had something like that happen. I hope you don't have permanent nerve damage, or at least not debilitating nerve damage.

[Stockers678]

It could be worse. I knew someone who severed all the nerves in the palm in her hand. She couldn't use her hand properly for just over a year. Basically a year off work, watching Jeremy Kyle and living off insurance payments. That's insufferable!

Anyway, enjoy your microsurgery.

[[EG] Pepper]

Impale the door with the handle

See how it likes that.

[Strider_07]

did you dick around with the door handle when it was in your arm

if I was high on painkillers that's what I would've done. I'm a terrible patient.

[gooooooooooogle]

I wouldn't be able to handle the pain
