I injured my thumb at work today. It got smashed between metal pans while putting dishes away.

It's bruised under the nail and it hurts. Looks crooked at the joint too compared to my other thumb. I can bend it so i don't think it's broken. As time passes i can flex it more

That hurts. I had a job in high school that sometimes involved using a 3 pound hatchet to drive nails. I always managed to hit my thumb the first week. It hurt really badly from the pressure buildup under the nail, so I used my pocket knife to drill a hole in the nail and relieve the pressure and let the blood out. I eventually lost the nail, and you probably will, too. I don't recommend my surgical procedure.
