in home ec I put the needle through my pinky twice.... teacher almost passed out. It was worth it! LOL. Don't remember the healing process at all. Dr is a good idea. Puncture wounds close fast around bacteria! Good luck

I came this close one time - . The needle slid off my finger nail as I was feeding pieces to sew. My heart just stopped I got so scared, that was over 25 years ago. I've been careful ever since. Knock on wood.

Dont feel bad, I did the exact same thing. Only I looked up at the TV. The needle broke off in two also, and I had to pull the threaded half of needle back through my finger. The Dr. looked at the Needle pieces and it was a clean break. No infection,etc. but it hurt bad for so long. I feel sorry for you cause it hurts. Hope your finger feels better soon. HUGS TO YOU!!!!!
In the last year I have also had the needle catch the tip of my nail and finger 3 times. You would think I would learn and pay attention.NOOOOOT.. All the time in the index finger of left hand.

Biggest fear I have.. with parkinson's shaking hands !! and the darn quilt guild wants me to use zigg zagg !!! Crazy people.
you need a tetnus shot at least ! your puncture wound can invite any infections !!
Good luck !

i did that when i was 6 years old on my GM treadle she came and backed it out and took me to the doctor. i have never forgotten that and never will. when we got back to her house she sat me down in front of the machine and had me sewing again right away so i could get over my new found fear.
hope you heal fast, i know it must hurt really bad. sorry it happened. HUGS
