I slammed a car door on my thumb. It broke the tip of my thumb and it had a permanent indention in the thumb so the Dr. did drill a hole in the thumb. It didn't hurt when he done it in fact it helped with the pain. The nail didn't fall off, it just grew out normal and looks normal. I did have to wear a brace on my thumb for a few weeks. When the weather is changing I am reminded of the break but that's all.
