On shift I caught my thumbnail on a sharp edge which drove right into my skin, and I barely paid attention because my skin was burning in agony, but afterwards the pain started to set in and I had hoped it would be temporary but it doesn't seem to be healing. Almost anything I touch puts me in agonizing pain. Last few days I had to deal with that pain on top of searing pain to the side of my head from an ear infection. Right now that part is more of a discomfort, and I am back to work again./4
