Yes, I will call a real doctor tomorrow, but I'm impatient and probably won't get to see a doc till later in the week anyway.
Last Thursday, I was carrying about 7 laptops in their backpacks. It was either this, or the minor burn from hot cheese from pizza... but Friday morning, my right ring finger was throbbing a little with pain. minor, but annoying. The finger was also sensitive to cold, too.
over the day the pain seemed to move up my arm. I figured I pinched a nerve or something. Finger hurt a little, but still, it was random when the pain would hit. Still figured it'd just go away.
It then traveled to my bicep on saturday, and the tip of my finger hurt more. But I noticed that the nail bed at the tip of my finger just separated from my nail. figures, it happens every so often when it's dry enough.
pain has shifted mostly to my finger now, and if i feel for it, in my bicep too faintly.
why I finally started to worry: my finger tip looks like this
It looks like bruising underneath the skin, like I slammed my finger in a door (because I have done that, and it looks like this, but more singular and larger). What drew my attention was there were 5 separate dots/bruises. two where my fingernails touch the nailbed, and those 3 in the pic.
so wtf happen...
