What is wrong with my finger My knuckle was penetrated by a splinter and I am not sure if there is still a piece in it I have been to the doc 4 times and antibiotics or steroids dont work any answers?

Answer 1

It might be still there and it might be somewhere in your knuckle. I THINK I have a splinter in my finger on the front. not where my knuckles are... i tried to squeeze it out but nothing came... it doesn't feel like a splinter. It felt like a shock whenever i tried to push it out.... I'm afraid that it might flow to my heart and kill me. 0.o.... i bet u have the same problem. if it is a DEEP splinter... i guess I'm gonna have surgery on it... It's possible you injured a nerve. You could try acupuncture and see if that helps. Acupuncture generates energy. Before you go through this for a week soak your whole hand (knuckle completely covered) in a basin of 1 cup of Epsom Salts (bought at any drug store and if you don't see it on the shelf ask the pharmacist) and put boiling water in to dissolve crystals. Then add to warm water in the basin. Keep the water as hot as you can stand it and soak for a good 1/2 hour. You can watch TV while doing this. My uncle years ago worked in a steel mill and every night he'd come home and soak his hands in Epsom Salts. You could literally see the fine slivers leaving his hands. Epsom Salts expels things like slivers, splinters, and is also good for sunburned skin or itchy skin. If this doesn't help please get your doctor to send you to someone who can evaluate your problem and possibly do Acupuncture.
