I developed what's known as a felon infection on my left index finger tip. It swelled to I'd say about an inch? Anyway, I went to an urgent care twice trying to get it dealt with because I basically couldn't use that hand. The second time, they lanced and expressed it which HURT like hell. You'd think, "It's just someone squeezing your finger, it can't hurt that bad," but it does. Holy shit it does.

That was six years ago and I still freak out whenever one of my fingertips gets a little tender or red. The cuticle on that finger actually detached on the swollen side and now it's lopsided.
