Can this be mostly healed Monday?

[minnesotakate14]

Okay, I was changing the water filter this morning and I tried to take it out. It stuck like it always does so I pulled harder and I came out but did that to my hand in the process.
It hurts like hell. Do you think this will be mostly healed by Monday? And do you have any remedies to heal it faster?

i have a guitar lesson on Monday and I can't bend my finger because it hurts so bad, but I have to use it a lot for what I'm learning.

If it's just a flesh wound should be fine. Pain should be gone in a day or two. You don't need those parts of the finger to play right?

If you banged a joint really hard and there's soft tissue damage it might take a while.

If it just stings like a paper cut x5 then it'll be fine. If you have trouble bending that joint, it's a bit swollen, and/or can't apply full strength, then it might take longer to heal. You can try icing it right afterwards to help reduce the inflammation. Won't be a huge benefit but better than nothing... although it's kind of too late now...

To play guitar I have to bend my finger which really hurts because of where the cut is. It's kinda stopped hurting but it kinda has this off and on pain thing going today. I have been icing it all day but there is still a little swelling.

Most of the progress is going to happen tonight... as your body finishes preparations for healing the injury and actually starts to fix things. Should stop hurting tomorrow.

Oh and don't put bandages on it. It's gonna take the scab off with it. Next time just wash it and let the blood sit on the wound and dry. It will heal much faster. Also air exposure speeds up healing so you won't want to be covering it.

It looks like you ripped a bit of skin off. As long as that is everything you should have new albeit soft and fragile skin come Monday.

That hurtful burning sensation I imagine you're feeling should go away quite fast, probably within a few hours.
Personally I administer propolis on nearly all of my bruises and cuts and it works like a charm. Not something most people have at home though (although they should because it genuinely is an amazing all-purpose remedy) for minor injuries.

It is a quite painful burning sensation. I did it this morning around 9 and it's 2:30 now and has been hurting off and on all day. I want to practice my guitar, but I'm not sure if that's such a good idea due to how much it hurts.

Looking closer I see that you tore off enough skin to reach the flesh at one point (it isn't dangerous, don't worry).
It would however be ideal to keep it clean. Band-aids are useful little things for keeping out dirt and (if you use one that preserves moistness) they also mildly accelerate healing.

You should still be able to play guitar come Monday without much trouble. You will be aware of your finger but it shouldn't hurt at all.

Clean it well, pat dry, apply a triple antibiotic like neosporin (with pain reliever if you like) and put a couple band aids on. The neosporin will keep it supple, so guitar lessons should be fine.

You'll be fine by then. It won't hurt. If it does still Monday, you still strum the fuck out of that guitar. Power through it dude

I think it should... Maybe you hurt a bone or something... You should go to the doctor!
