Why didnt my finger cut, or bleed????

Question

Im not gonna explain the story of how its too long lol.... but today i got my finger caught in the blade of a lawn mower... it was probably one of the most painful things i have ever felt in my life..; the mower was on obviously but my finger did not cut??? its really strange... its hugely/grossly swollen lol and its bluish purple and kind of cold... its on the side of the finger without the nail... its puffed up swollen its a funny color, it really hurts but it didnt cut.. i dont get it, like a sharp blade moving at however fast they go and it didnt cut it?? why? through the swelling and bluish purple you can kind of see a mark that goes down the whole swelling, and its red/black, it kind of looks like i got cut... but under the skin lol, it looks like a cut mark but its not on the outside and i dont really understand.. i did not go see a doctor

Answer 1

for a cut to bleed it needs to be cut deep enough and close enough to a vain or artery. and if it swollen and bruised the cut might have opened up after it got hit by the blade. its nothing to worr about. if it didnt bleed theres still nothing to worry about but still watch it for infection

Answer 2

your finger folded out of the way.  You are very lucky.  My friend cut off his toes with a lawnmower.  Most lawnmower blades are very dull.

Answer 3

i think you should just thank your lucky stars!!!!  You probably just lucked out.  Maybe you have tough fingers or something lol i dunno

but besides the point..... i think it would be extremely swollen and bruised the way your discribing because ur finger SHOULD have been chopped up...... but since ur lucky ..... instead you got stuck with a beaten up finger....

Watch where u put ur fingers next time!!!! OUCH

Although the was not sharp enough to cut through the skin you should still see a doctor because you could have some nerve damage or internal injury that needs taken care of right a way

Answer 9

Really, you should see a doctor for that.  There's definitely some potential for infection, and potential that the blood is not circulating to the extent it needs to.  You seriously could lose your finger.  You don't have to go to the emergency room, but go to an immediate care clinic like Concentra or US Healthworks.

Answer 12

it could be that the blade was dull and so as a result you get internal bleeding aka bruises

Answer 13

I should go see a Doctor. Maybe it cause the blood to gether in one place, and needs to be taken out. Is it like a bruise?
