OMG!! My foot feels so much better. I would much rather have the pain from a cut on the heel of my foot, then the pain of stepping on my foot when a 2cm splinter is embedded in it.

I stepped on something this morning outside, and got a thorn in my foot. I removed it, but part of it broke inside my foot and within 20 minutes it had already closed up.

But now its removed. And I feel so much better. But seriously, why the hell do splinters hurt so bad. Most break easily if you crush them between your fingers, but if they get in a finger or your foot they hurt so bad.

I once had a part of a splinter in my finger for 2 months before I removed it. Just use tweezers to pull it out man.

I know what you mean. Sometimes you just have to rip it open and get it out of there.

Many years ago I was helping a customer and he dropped a cylinder on my fingers. One of them got some sort of blood blister or something under the nail and it was throbbing!!!!! I took this tiny drill bit and drilled a hole in the nail above it and it squirted out some blood and Oooo it felt sooo much better!!!!!!!!!!

God I hate when I don't notice splinters... 3 hours later I notice it and since it's all sealed, I have to dig it out with a knife. Sad

I think I'd rather have a splinter than a paper cut though.

I heard about a weird technique that I've never tried myself. I rarely get splinters. But you cut a piece of potato off and press it against the area that has the splinter. Then tape the piece of potato to it. Go to sleep. When you wake up in the morning the starch from the potato is supposed to actually pull the splinter out as it dries. The splinter should be in the potato when you wake up. Sounds crazy, but it kinda makes sense.

I always wanted to test it out.

I'm sure there's a starchy scientific explanation. Plutonian, can you get another splinter and try this out?

Zillah! Cut a V out of your toe nails, right in the middle. Instead of cutting them straight across. It'll cause the nail to grow inward toward the V cut instead of outward toward your fleshy parts.

Hmm, i guess that means ill have to let my toenails grow out a bit, amiright?

Just a little. They don't have to be especially long. You can make it a wide v vs. a deep one. You might want to file the edge just a little though, otherwise it can be scratchy.

I got a tip of a pencil stuck in my knee when I was like 12. Never got it out. Still a spot there where it happened. The worst pain I think I ever felt though was when I cut my Achilles Tendon. Went from drunk to completely sober in about 2 seconds.

I will never understand how people manage this. I've used knifes a lot and have never cut myself.

I worked at a pizza place for a bit (was to help a friend out for a few days). Had to use this big ass can opener to open cans of sauce and one didn't come off fully so i pulled it off with my hand. Felt a pinch and looked at my hand to see a long cut on my finger and a river of blood comeing out of it.

Both of my Halluxes (sp?) have developed ultra hard skin due to my recent increase in the amount of exercise I do. I have cut them with a razor, trying to remove as much hard skin as possible without having to cut myself too deep that I bleed.

LoL

LOL, when I read this, I thought you meant a brownie as in the other kind of Girl Scout.

I also cut my palm open last night by a good two inches. Nothing too deep or anything, but deep enough it bled for 20 minutes.

But I was at a friends house, and I saw a knife on his dresser. Picked it up thinking it was a switchblade, held it in my hands and pressed the button. Found out it wasn't a switchblade, but a stiletto.

Apparently I had been holding it upside down and the blade launched out and cut part of my palm open.

I just stood there looking at my hand and the knife going "Hmm, would have been nice to know that was a Stiletto John".
