Silky cut

I was cutting a small branch up in a cherry tree with my handsaw and because it was really wet I lost grip on the handsaw which somehow flipped and hit the top of my right thumb. It hit the part where it is just bone about 3cm below the knuckle. It hurt and bled a bit but I carried on expecting it to heal like all the other silky cuts have in the past but its been some time now (months) and it seems to be getting worse. For example I can't make a fist with my thumb on the inside without pain and it also hurts when I'm feeding my hands into gloves. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen? Could the silky teeth have done damage to tendons or perhaps there is some infection but there is nothing visible and can't find anything different to the other thumb.

 

What is it about blokes that they'd rather post a message on the web than go to the doctors?!

Stop playing to your stereotype and go to the docs!! If it gets worse and you can't climb or grip a saw you'll be buggered! And have you got a vest on? You'll sit there til you eat that...
